Credit should be given to the author of this book, ‘Henry Bursill’. These images were originally posted on Project Gutenberg with the authors signature on the bottom right, so either this poster or who this poster got these from had removed it.
The entire eBook can be found here: http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/12962

Of course, if you look at the original from Project Gutenberg which has titles on all the pictures, they’re titled “Grandpapa,” “Fright,” and “Boy.” So who’s being racist here, someracist? You’re the one who seems to recognize the form of “Jew” and “Negro” here.

If one of my brides or grooms can perfect the skills shown here and exhibit the shadows during the wedding itself, it will probably be quite a blast due to the originality. Great job with the shadow instructions!

The turtle is AWESOME
i cannot stop making it. I greet ppl with “The turtle”.
oh.. btw the combination of the pictures and comment number 10 gave me 10 minutes of laughter.
And Why are there two dead animals below the jew? thez look as if they were ran over. Or does that represent some kinda jewish tradition?
anyway, it is funny page
