The Very Image of His Papa

The Very Image of His Papa

Engraving

Fun (8 October 1864): 38

Young Hopeful: — “Mamma, Dear, who’s that man?”

Fond Mama: — “He’s a gentleman high in the church.”

Young Hopeful: — “Does he ring the bells then?”

Why is the young boy the image of his father? Is his father that clueless?
