Black Humored English Snuffbox

This is really quite dark and macabre—the man is cheerfully toasting his dead, hanging wife. The verse, from Shakespeare's "The Tempest, reads, "Merrily, Merrily shall I live now, Under the blossom that hangs on the Bough."

Condition: Very Good. Edge wear and loss of paint scattered all over.

Price: SOLD
