Victorian comforting a miserable man - stock illustration

A kind-looking Victorian man with a book, possibly a Bible, trying to comfort a sad-looking man whose pipe is turned upside down, indicating that he has no tobacco. He is obviously poor, judging by his patched and frayed clothing - and would probably prefer a few coins to a bracing homily. From “The Cottager and Artisan” illustrated by various artists and published by The Religious Tract Society, London, in 1876.
