Description: Old engraving , by the famous Victorian caricaturist John Leech. The scene is possibly from Dickens, or Punch magazine. Has all the usual Leech humour - The man stands boasting before the fire, attended by an incredulous young woman, and her mother. Acutely observed details - mother holds a screen to protect her already ruddy complexion from the fire. Engraving has faults - the edges and one corner are damaged. The area inside the plate at the bottom has some faults, and there is some general grubbiness, which may well rub off. Framed, you could eliminate all the creases and edge damage - it could be matted closer to the actual cartoon, still allowing Leech’s signature (on the plate) to show. As is, it measures 24.5 cm by 15.5 cm (9.2/3 inches by 6.1/4 inches). This engraving is uncoloured, in its original condition. Over 100 years old.
