Description | Crusty Old Bachelor's Christmas |
Details |
Humorous illustration showing two old bachelors taking their Christmas dinner while reading newspapers at a restaurant or eating house. A waiter stands between the two tables yawning, suggesting that the two diners have nowhere else to go and have consequently outstayed their welcome. The fireplace is decorated with holly and mistletoe. Humorous or sentimental illustrations were a popular feature of the ILN, particularly in seasonal issues - this image is from the 1889 Christmas number.
