This collection comprises nine contemporary decorative signs and plaques. Eight items are printed metal, likely tin or aluminum, featuring various dog-related themes. These include whimsical and cartoonish illustrations of specific breeds such as Boston Terriers, Labradors, and Jack Russells, alongside humorous text-based warnings and rules. Visible English text includes phrases such as “ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A GIRL WHO REALLY LOVED BOSTON TERRIERS,” “NOTICE If our dog doesn’t like you, We probably won’t either,” “BEWARE OF THE DOG,” “Jack Russell ON PATROL,” and “DOGS WELCOME (PEOPLE TOLERATED).” The prominent sign, identified through web intelligence, features a Boston Terrier illustration with the text “ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A GIRL WHO REALLY LOVED BOSTON TERRIERS.” The collection also includes one white plaque, possibly wood, MDF, or heavy card, with a botanical motif and an inspirational quote about using one’s voice and living authentically. Many signs incorporate rustic or vintage-inspired distressed edges. Several items show drilled holes for hanging, and visible price stickers and inventory numbers indicate a commercial retail context.
