About this work

This page from a 1917 book shows six circular vignettes in black ink arranged in a grid, captioned The Story of the Boy Who Always Said the Wrong Thing. The scenes include a horned figure holding a trident, a bride holding flowers beside a figure in a dark hat, a boy in a tall hat tugging at a man's coat above a basket, and a crouching figure swinging a mallet. The signature Jean de Bosschère appears in the lower corner of the final vignette.
