Lantern Reading n°146 - livret
Today poor Jack had unfortunate been,
And so by his grandmother dare not be seen.
And poor little Mike was in similar plight,
He'd a drunken father and mother to fight,
Who sent him each morning out into the street,
To see with what a sympathy he would meet;
They thought that his crippled and shrivelled leg,
Was the finest thing out wherewith to beg.
And now and then in the course of the day,
One or the other would fetch away,
The pence that charity had to him thrown,
With which their wretchedness they would drown,
This night, however, the poor little soul,
No pennies had got, but a terrible hole,
Inside his stomach, for all that day,
Nothing but air had passed that way;

Riley Bros, Lantern Reading n°146, 55 & 57 Godwin Street, Bradford, p.11

Neuf vues de type Life Models retracent l'histoire des malheurs d'un jeune garçon. La plaque numéro 2 le présente allongé dans un lit d'hôpital. L'infirmière raconte son histoire aux médecins l'entourant : le jeune garçon vivait dans la rue (plaque 3). Il n'avait pas de chance car il était blessé et personne ne voulait s'occuper de lui (plaque 4). Assi sur un banc, en compagnie d'un inconnu, il regarde par dessus la rambarde (plaque 4), mais il chute (plaque 5). Par chance, un pêcheur le sauve et l'amène à l'hôpital (plaque 5). A son réveil à l'hôpital, après tant de mésaventures et en voyant le médecin, il se crut arrivé au Paradis (plaque 7).
