This antique print depicts a scene titled "Yorick and the Chaise-Vamper's Wife," which is an illustration related to Laurence Sterne's novel A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy. The scene shows Yorick, one of the main characters, in an encounter with the Chaise-Vamper's wife. The woman is seen adjusting her hair, and a piece of paper, identified as Yorick's writing, has fallen to the ground. The setting is outdoors, near a building with a sign that mentions "Chaises" and "Voitures" (carriages), a place where transportation might be hired.
Also included is the tissue paper covering with a brief description of the scene.
This is an original, not a reproduction. It came from a destroyed 1st edition book published in 1892 by Selmar Hess called Character Sketches of Romance Fiction and Drama. There is some damage, aging to the bound side of the print. All prints are either wood engravings, etchings, photogravure, or typogravure.
