"Two subjects are printed on one sheet, with a space between. Above: A middle aged woman points to her eye and seems to mesmerize man with a skull-like head. Below: one man waves a smoking pipe under the nose of another to wake him up, watched by a smiling woman who holds a foaming tankard."--Metropolitan Museum of Art online catalog
