This is the Man all tattered and torn

This is the Man all tattered and torn

Randolph Caldecott

circa. 1916

Postcard; a photo-mechanical reproduction of a coloured wood engraving by Edmund Evans

5 x 3 ¼ inches

Reproduced from The House that Jack Built. An example of Caldecott’s mischievous humour, showing the tattered man creeping up on the forlorn maiden. The facial expressions of both characters are psychologically revealing (no. D2).
