Two Laughing Men
Two men lose it laughing at something in a magazine
Overview
In this classic Victorian 'facial', we see two men laughing uproariously at a magazine article. What could be so funny? We'll never know - not that it matters, because it's just intended to show the actors gurning, and maybe to set us off too.
