Description
A young Ancient Egyptian man, who devised an ingenious trap, went to sleep and caught his nose in it - sadly, he had not yet invented a key to open it! 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 unpolitically-correct by today's standards.
