bed, a merry devil.
A woman's coffin uncovered by the sexton, while a lover standing by exclaims, "¡¡Cascaras!! ¡cómo ha cambiadd!" A scene at the _Teatro Real_ with Señor Espin y Guillén in a small group behind the scenes, and a prima donna singing. Actors standing apart in the wings. A visit to the cemetery. A skeleton thrusting out his head from his burial niche, and a young man presenting his card. "DIFUNTO: No recibo. VISITANTE: Pues hai (_sic_) queda la targeta (_sic_)." A fine sketch of "Eleonora," a stately form in rich fifteenth-century garb. A number of sketches of women, knights, monks, devils, soldiers, skeletons, etc. _Second Album: Les morts pow rire, Bizarreries dédiées à Mademoiselle Julie, par G. A. Becker (sic)_. Fantastic frontispiece of skulls, bones, and leafy fronds, and two young lovers seated, sketching. Skeletons playing battledore and shuttlecock with skulls. A tall slim skeleton and a round short one. Skeletons at a ball. |
