Manliest Beauty 1877

“Now then, Mossoo, your Form is of the Manliest Beauty, and you are altogether a most attractive Object; but you’ve stood there long enough. So jump in and have done with it!”

Cartoon by George du Maurier from Punch. (He was also the father of Sylvia Llewelyn Davies and grandfather of the five boys who inspired J.M. Barrie‘s Peter Pan, fact fans!)
