At bottom left of the poster (?) is The Good Woman. This of course pertains to the fact that, lacking a head, she has been deprived of the power to scold her husband. A similar tavern sign, though not here, is The Honest Lawyer, who again has no head, and thus no opportunity to lie.

“The World Turned Upside Down” was a very popular musical march, played by the military on both sides during the American War of Independence.

Your website gives myself and my husband great pleasure–thank you.

Phenomenal cartoons! It seems as if “THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN” could be a present-day event…

Love & Peace

Such inspiring stuff! I absolutely love these. May need to turn my hand to creating a few of my own!

What an excellent find.
I love the jolly old soldiers with one leg and two arms between them.
