Custodial History
This collection forms part of the Jay T. Last collection of graphic arts and social
history, which was donated to the Huntington Library by Jay T. Last in 2005 as a gift in

between 2010 and 2012. Additional materials were transferred in 2017.
Biographical / Historical
The Jay T. Last Collection is an unparalleled archive of printed paper artifacts that
documents American lithographic, social, and business history. The collection began in the
early 1970s when physicist and Silicon Valley pioneer, Jay Last moved to Southern California
and started collecting citrus box labels he found at local flea markets and rummage sales.
As his collection grew, Last realized that these labels conveyed important information about
commercial printing, graphic design, and social history, and he expanded his collection to
include other forms of American visual culture. Today this collection contains more than
200,000 lithographic prints, posters, and ephemera of mostly nineteenth and early twentieth
century American origin and represents works by more than five hundred lithographic
companies.
Scope and Contents
The Jay T. Last collection of sports and leisure prints and ephemera contains about 1,770
printed materials related to the history and advertising of athletics, recreational
activities, pyrotechnics, gambling, and games in the United States. The materials date from
approximately 1758 to approximately 1938, although the bulk of the items date from the
mid-19th to early-20th centuries. The collection consists of about 67 large-sized items, and
over 1,000 smaller-sized items, including paper dolls, playing cards, trade cards, puzzle
cards, dime novels, and promotional billheads and letterheads.
Images on the materials range from scenes of indoor pastimes such as billiard and board
games, to outdoor sports and activities like roller skating and horse racing. Some materials
also include advertisements for fireworks and other pyrotechnic products, largely promoted
for Fourth of July celebrations.
The collection also consists of many broadsides announcing lottery and charity drawings
that took place in Delaware, Maryland, Louisiana, Wyoming, Kansas, and other parts of the
United States. Many of the drawings were organized by reputed swindlers at the time, like
J.M. (James Monroe) Pattee and L.D. Sine. Some of the drawings organized by the Louisiana
State Lottery Company were also officiated by former Confederate generals G. T. (Gustave
Toutant) Beauregard and Jubal Anderson Early.
In addition to sport materials, this collection also consists of items relating to toys and
novelties. Items range from paper cut-out templates, to playing cards, holiday toy listings
by retailers, and toy advertisements by manufacturers such as the Milton Bradley Company and
the McLoughlin Bros. A significant portion of this collection includes paper dolls with
fashion accessories, published either as promotional product advertisements by companies, as
art supplements by newspapers, or as toys retailed to consumers.
