About this work

This print shows Denman Thompson in costume as Joshua Whitcomb. The outfit includes high-waisted trousers, a checked jacket, waistcoat, and neckerchief. It’s part of a sketch about a New Hampshire man who visits the city. The play grew into a four-act show called The Old Homestead. Thompson later made his name performing this role.
