JUVENILE ETYMOLOGY 

"Juvenile Etymology" is a black and white wood engraving by renowned English caricaturist John Leech (1817-1864). This humorous illustration depicts a Victorian-era domestic scene with a woman seated in a chair with two young girls. The engraving was likely intended for publication in a magazine or periodical, as Leech was well-known for his contributions to satirical publications such as Punch. The humor in the engraving likely derives from the absurdity of the situation, perhaps a commentary on the social dynamics between children and adults in the Victorian era.
