A Botch Tailor Caricature Comic Valentine Penny Dreadful Sarcasm Insult Ephemera

A RARE caricature cartoon comic valentine A tailor sits cross-legged, sewing a button onto a pair of pants. The tailor is smoking a pipe and a half-empty mug of beer sits next to him. On the wall behind him, "Old Misfit" and "Shoddy Suits Made to Order" suggest that the quality of his work is poor. Poem: "You cross-legged sinner, you botchy old beat, / All that you care for's to cozen and cheat. / Your cloth is all shoddy, and your sewing is such / That the clothes come to pieces almost at a touch: / The buttons fall off, the colors all fade, / And a fool alone with you would more than once trade." Approximate Dimensions: 9.75 x 7.25 inches Stored and shipped in protective plastic sleeve with carboard envelope.
