A fantastic Victorian, optical illusion, memento mori. A young man and woman underneath an archway, the woman presents her lover with a miniature tree, while food and drink has been laid out before them. The image forms an optical illusion of a skull, which became a popular theme during the late nineteenth and twentieth century. This anonymous design is one of the oldest examples of a skull illusion and was replicated in several postcards and even puzzles. Inscription underneath the image: 'Dedicated by permission to the Right Honourable the Earl of Zetland M. W. G. M. Grand Master of England. By A. A. Defeher.'
