Angler Hooked by His Own Line — Illustrated Postcard

A stout, well-dressed gentleman lets out a yelp as the hook from his own fishing line catches his nose, while a calm young companion in a tricorn hat reels in a proper catch from the stern of a small rowboat. A lantern, a jug, and a coiled anchor rope fill out the deck in this playful watercolor scene.

A bit of slapstick for anyone who fishes, sails, or simply enjoys a well-told visual joke — Charles Folkard's illustration for Lewis Carroll's Alice books.
