Label TextIn this autumnal scene, two girls gathering acorns seem delighted to encounter a squirrel doing the same. Launched in 1888, Collier's identified itself as a magazine of "fiction, fact, sensation, wit, humor, and news," and was known for its investigative exposés as well as its color covers.
