| Description |
Illustrated humorous trade card depicting a man with a long beard toting a bag and hat in his right hand about to open the
door to enter a bathroom. The card opens up to reveal a disheveled-looking man in suspenders, perhaps one who has never seen
an indoor bathroom, washing his face in the toilet. A sign reading, "Don't blow out the gas," hangs on the opposite wall above
the bathtub.
