This drawing shows two men side by side. One is thin and quick. The other is bigger and stands firm. It’s a caricature meant to make people laugh. The artist used quick, sharp lines to exaggerate the men’s shapes. Dan Leno, the thin one, was famous for his fast, silly dancing on stage. The bigger man, Herbert Campbell, played the straight man in their comedy acts. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of these funny drawings.
