Comic Postcard - Oxford - A Run with the Man-pursuing Hounds

A Run with the InI ieIaI-IIc ieIuIaI-IuIcI IcIu Hounds has sketches of the proctors and bulldogs (Oxford University constables) pursuing, catching and disciplining a recalcitrant student. The Greek InI ieIaI-IIc ieIuIaI-IuIcI IcIu ('anthropo theromenoi') means man-pursuing. As so often with early comic cards, they are aimed at a knowing in-group, what are now termed alumni perhaps, who will recognize enough Classical Greek to get the point of the caption on the card. Incidentally, this card has a space for a brief message below the image, which suggests the illustration was originally intended for the pre-1902 undivided-back format
