[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 707229, member: 2844"]I think the man with the big nose is a caricature of a British poiltician of the day, which could be 1906 or earlier, since the orginal prints are probably older. He would still have been a recognizable figure in 1906 though, otherwise what was the point of making a slide. If he is meant to be of (part)African descent, which I am not convinced of at all, the only British politician I could find who fits that bill had a moustache on all the photos I saw of him. And he didn't have a big nose. Many other British politicians did have fairly big noses.:playful:[/QUOTE]
