Description: Original description reads: "Cinci., O., Sept. 1937. Eden Park view." Eden Park is located in the Mt. Adams community of Cincinnati. The park began as the designation for the city's water supply, purchased in 1859. However, early on the city saw that the area could also serve the dual purpose of city park. The park area was originally designed by noted landscape architect Adolph Strauch. Eden Park is home to a number of city landmarks and landforms, such as Krohn Conservatory, the Cincinnati Art Museum, Elsinore Arch, Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, Seasongood Pavilion, the Eden Park Water Tower, Melan Arch Bridge and Mirror Lake.

Description: The Cincinnati Art Museum, seen here, is located at 953 Eden Park Drive, in Eden Park. In 1880, Charles W. West of Cincinnati donated 150,000 dollars to the Cincinnati Museum Association to establish an art museum in the city. In 1886, the Cincinnati Art Museum opened, and became one of the leading art museums in the United States. The Romanesque Revival style building was designed by James W. McLaughlin. In 1881, the Cincinnati Museum Association convinced the McMicken School of Drawing and Design to relocate to the Cincinnati Art Museum. McMicken College later became the University of Cincinnati. The college agreed to turn over all operations of The School of Drawing and Design to the Cincinnati Museum Association. The school became known as the Art Academy of Cincinnati. Established in 1887, the academy has trained artists for more than a century. In 1998, the Art Academy of Cincinnati legally separated from the museum and became an independent college of art and design and has since moved to another location. By the early twenty-first century, the Cincinnati Art Museum contained works of art spanning more than five thousand years. Its holdings include works by Picasso, Matisse, and El Greco. The museum also owns a number of works by Frank Duveneck and other local artists.

Description: Caption reads: "District #16 Some of the oldest and most interesting dolls in Mrs. Parke Smith's collection. The doll on the extreme left, named "Tobacco Road", came from the foothills of Tennessee about 1810. The doll next to it, dating from about 1820, went to California with the forty-niners. A wooden jointed doll, with all joints articulate, carved from bay poplar in the early 18th century (about 1740) by a wood carver who was evidently accustomed to carving shipheads, stands next on the right. The gentleman wears a home-spun suit (many of the older dolls also have home-spun underwear), and comes from Maine. The young lady on the extreme right wears an original dress and dates from about 1690. Photo by W.P.A. Photographer, Federal Project No. 1. (Writers') 7-17-36."
