Titled "Ye old way," this color lithograph from about 1885 was printed by Geo. H. Walker & Co. of Boston and is catalogued under barbershops and shaving. The Boston firm produced many colorful commercial and humorous prints in the 1880s, when lithography offered an affordable way to reach a wide audience. The copyright notice credits W.A. George, and the old-fashioned title hints at a joke about outdated habits, a theme common in comic images of the period.
