DESCRIPTION
An old man suspiciously regarding a strange insect which has just flown past him, smirking. From 'Merry Conceits and Whimsical Rhymes', written and drawn by Charles H. Ross; engraved and printed by Edmund Evans; published by George Routledge & Sons, London & New York, 1883. Each somewhat anarchistic illustration comes with a humorous verse, often highly politically-incorrect by today's standards.
