Victorian satirical cartoon, Depression hiding behind a smiling mask
Vintage engraving of a Victorian satire on Depression hiding behind a smiling mask, 19th Century. Tis hard to smile, when all the while, You feel a load of care; Tis hard to laugh at idle chaff, With thoughts that are elsewhere; Tis hard to keep in contenance, When hope and friends depart; Yet of, alas, a merry face, Conceals a heavy heart
