Where Ignorance is Bliss by H M Bateman
Where Ignorance is Bliss by H M Bateman, this illustration shows a man warming his behind in front of the fire while he smokes his pipe. But he is unaware of the flames leaping up his back. His dog is cowering away as he sees the flames and ignorance is definitely bliss in this case as the man is oblivious to his predicament
