Well, this rather explains itself from a character standpoint. Here, we see Punch, Judy and Dog Toby in happier times, probably before the birth of the baby. This color print (the more I read and write about British history, art, and general stuff, the more inclined I am to put extra u’s and l’s in things) dates to about 1801. It has been cut from a book or picture sheet and mounted on pink paper, probably in the later Nineteenth Century.
The figures are embossed to give them added dimension.
And, it just makes me happy.
