This is an original 1901 halftone print from the 25th Anniversary Edition of the Harvard Lampoon. Along with a hearty poetry to the Lampoon, the jester and the ibis can be seen reminiscing over the years while the minstrel holds up a cake complete with the Lampoon's years of operation up to that point, 1876-1901.
