Sandwichman aangevallen door twee honden c. 1850 - 1900

This anonymous 19th-century hand-colored lithograph depicts a humorous scene of a sandwichman, a person who advertises for a company by wearing a large sign, being attacked by two dogs. The sandwichman is carrying a sign, but it’s blank and appears to be an advertisement for a product, a common practice at the time. The image is likely a satirical piece commenting on the working class of the time. "Sandwichman" was a term used to describe a man employed to carry and advertise for a product or service.
