Manuscripts
Four original pen and ink drawings by Lute Pease. The drawings include "A Shocking Comeback" (showing a boy with an axe and pants reading "Allies," a headless turkey with a sign reading "give it back...", and a turkey head with a tag reading "Constantinople"); "When the Premiership was Vacant" (showing a lion with his tail caught in a door reading "Pressing European Problems" with an apparent George V painting a sign reading "Wanted Quick A New Keeper"); "We'll 'Emancipate' Him" (showing robbers labeled "Lenine" and "Kemal" referring to a traveler marked "Balkans"); and "Vampiring" (showing an apparent Uncle Sam writing "Internal Revenue Business" in a ledger while being attacked by a winged elephant labeled "Republican Job Raid"). The drawings appear to date from the early 1920s.

Manuscripts
This manuscript is a hand-drawn caricature of American humorist and soldier George Horatio Derby, drawn by an unknown artist. The profile image of Derby is wearing what appears to be military dress, and has something of a sly expression on his face. A handwritten caption reads "Derby the married man," and "1854" is written just beneath the drawing.
