Comic Scene of a Giant

Comments - Unusual comic scene of a giant man with smaller figures clambering over him. The fellow grimaces unhappily as a beauty reaches up to pull hairs from his nostril. At right, a tiny man pulls the hairs out of his chest and places them on the giant's blue striped kimono to create a cross-hatch pattern. A very strange subject surrounded by text.

Artist - 19th century artist (unsigned)

Image Size - 6 1/4" x 8 3/4" + margins as shown

Condition - With excellent color and detail as shown. Horizontal center fold from previous folio inclusion. A few small holes, repaired, blends well. Creasing and soiling, small round ink stamps on reverse. Please see photos for details. Good overall.
