Légende

A masterpiece of graphic humour, 1844. A man flirts with two young women: 'There's our beautiful eye of grey, Sir, And our blue one that seems to say, Sir, If your intintions lie in that way, Sir, His reverence [ie the vicar] lives hard by!...Such is the verse from Doctor O'Toole's "Grand Historical Lilt", in the "Illuminated Magazine" for the present month, which Phiz has illustrated in true poetic vein: it is, indeed, a masterpiece of graphic humour'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V.
