The front has a large picture of beavers–a part of the Canadian Pacific’s logo–playing at what appears to be a children’s amusement park. The picture is signed “L.R. Batchelor,” a Canadian painter and illustrator of numerous books.

The beavers playing at the carnival are all really cute. Real beavers aren’t so cute. They’ll eat your wood canoe overnight if you don’t keep it next to you while you sleep.
