Courtship/Matrimony
Ensign, Thayer and Company · ca 1850
Colored print; an optical illusionary portrait of man and woman. When viewed one way, as "Courtship," they are smiling. When viewed the other way, as "Matrimony," they are scowling. A moon looks upon the smiling couple, storm clouds appear above the frowning couple. Verses appear beneath each title.
