There Is No Deception - drawn by Leech, 1850. Creator: Unknown

There Is No Deception - drawn by Leech, 1850. Illustration to "Christmas Interiors", an article by the Old Batchelor. I heard a terrific burst, half terror, half laughter, with cries, and rushings to and fro, and gigglings and shouts. Opening the door - Oh these children! what miracle will not their happy presence work on the sourest, and most rational and atrabilious of us old folks !- if there was not grave and iconoclastic Mr. Twinge, Q.C. with all his weight of law, and fifty-six years on his head, performing the "Giant, " draped in Mr. Eyebright's dressing-gown, surmounted by a wonderful extempore mask, held in his uplifted hands. Yes, there was the severe Twinge...exhibited by funny Mr. Edkins as "the Californian Giant, and no deception, ladies"...knocking his hat against the chandelier, and breaking his shins over the furniture, and becoming enamoured of the young ladies, and delighting the bold children, and terrifying the timid ones into fits'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
