Hand-powered "Irish mail" type carriage. First half of the 20th century. A four-wheeled vehicle with a single seat, a front control for propulsion, two levers (one on each side, one acting as a brake and the other controlling movement), and a front acetylene headlight. The front axle is operated by foot pedals for turning. It is very similar to vehicles known as "Irish Mail," which derived from the railcars or handcars used on railway tracks for construction and maintenance. According to another theory, these same railcars, especially when not in use on railways, were called "Irish Mail" cars. See, for example, children's models in the AC McClurg and Co. catalog; the 1938 Irish Mail Deluxe Racer from another company; or the 1920 Ben Hur Racer Irish Mail handcar.

The Fountain. Polychrome terracotta. 20th century, following models by CARRIER-BELLEUSE, Albert-Ernest (Aisne, 1824-Sèvres, 1887). The figure depicts a reclining, almost entirely nude child, his head adorned with a crown of golden leaves. He is shown holding a shell (with touches of gold), drawing water from a pitcher beside him, thus recalling the allegories of rivers or their sources in Ancient Rome. This work should be compared with Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse's "La Source," housed, for example, in the Art Institute of Chicago or the Portland Museum of Art (of which several variations exist, differing in the figures and materials used). Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse was a French sculptor and draftsman trained by David d'Angers and at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He achieved international recognition after participating in the Salon des Artistes Français in 1861 (winning the Third Medal), and went on to create notable works such as several busts of Napoleon III, the fireplace in the grand hall of the Paris Opera, and others. His work is held in prominent private collections and institutions such as the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and the Prado Museum in Madrid; in addition, his terracotta sculptures and monuments (such as the one of Bernardo O'Higgins in Santiago, Chile) should be mentioned. It is also worth highlighting the publication in 1884 of L\\'application de la figure humaine à la decoration et à l\\'ornementation industrielles, an important collection of decorative arts of the time, and in 1876 he was appointed art director of the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres.
