The title, *Then I look up at Nye...*, reads like a line of dialogue or a caption, which suggests a humorous print meant to be read alongside a figure's expression or gesture. Its date of about 1870 falls in a period when American illustrated weeklies and cheap lithographs often used comic captions to poke fun at politics, manners, and everyday mishaps. The record is thin. A shelflist card links the name Hull and the number 6 to the print, but that information is unverified, so the maker and the identity of Nye remain uncertain.
