Royalty Free Old Man Trying To Make Calculations (Victorian Cartoon) premium stock clip art

DESCRIPTION

An old man in a striped nightshirt (who looks as though he might have toothache) vainly trying to balance columns of figures. The results are all over the floor and his servant stands by with the inkwell, looking extremely fed up. 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.
