This was a quick piece I put together after scanning a beautiful image from a book called Hood's Own: Or, Laughter From Year to Year. Being a Further Collection of His Wit and Humour, printed in 1862. I was lucky enough to come across the book while perusing the stacks at the local university library. Go out and search your university library for an original copy of this. It is full of beautiful and often hilarious illustrations.
Here's the original scan
The stamps were from a collection I've had since I was a child. The collage was created for an article I wrote.
And the original book cover of Hood's Own
