Taxonomy from the Porter

Railway Porter (to Old Lady travelling with a Menagerie of Pets). "’STATION MASTER SAY, MUM, AS CATS IS ‘DOGS,’ AND RABBITS IS ‘DOGS,’ AND SO’S PARROTS; BUT THIS ’ERE ‘TORTIS’ IS A INSECT, SO THERE AIN’T NO CHARGE FOR IT!"
Charles Keene ~ 1869
I've been looking for the original of this cartoon for years. It's much quoted, sometimes with a "tortis" and sometimes with "hinsect" or other variations on rabbits and cats.
Thanks to http://www.wandleys.demon.co.uk/punchpix.htm and a collection of Punch cartoons about trains.

The page with the weirdest stuff is in this fairly large scan he put on Flickr. (799 x 1042 jpg).

Jul. 1st, 2005 01:18 amLadies and gentlemen, the newest stamp from the Mexican postal service, commemorating a beloved cartoon character named "Memin Pinguin".
( cut for offensiveness )
Yeah, I actually had to lj-cut a stamp. I guess there must be about 8 black people in Mexico. Reminds me of the Sambo-ish caricatures in Japan.
