Here is a wonderful old comic engraving showing the moment of truth for a awkward and corpulent scoolmaster on his way home. The plank he's crossing looks wide enough for comfort, but he seems about to fall in the water anyway. The print is in excellent condition with no discoloration or other damage aside from three tiny fox specks, visible in this scan. It will be shipped with original 1847 descriptive material about the print and the story that goes with it. It is on heavy paper, and is blank on the reverse. The original tissue guard is intact. The margins are bigger than shown here, the print being 9-3/4 inches by 6 inches; the image area is 5-3/4 inches by 4-1/4 inches. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.
