Artifact Overview
Almanacs contained practical information about the coming year. Readers normally found a calendar, weather predictions, tide schedules, and information related to astronomical events, agriculture, health, politics and other matters. Interspersed were jokes and witty sayings. In the late 1800s, drug and patent medicine companies published almanacs with colorfully illustrated covers to entice the public to buy their products.

Dogs guard, guide, hunt and herd, but they also entertain, inspire and offer comfort. In exchange for their pets' loyalty, owners provide room, board, and affection. Owners convey love and respect for their working dogs in personal ways, through portraits and photographs. And businesses capitalize on public affection for dogs and puppies by featuring them in advertisements and showcasing them on consumable products from tableware to trinkets.
