A man reads to his lady, perhaps a poem. Whatever it is, it seems to be having quite an effect. A vectorization of a drawing in 'Doctor Syntax's Three Tours: in search of the picturesque, consolation, and a wife', William Combe, 1868. The drawing was entitled 'Doctor Syntax with a Blue Stocking Beauty'. The raster image was processed to remove blemishes, and contrast and colours were adjusted before vectorization.
