A somewhat gruesome scene from Tomb Thumb, illustrated by Gustave Doré, in the bedroom of the giant ogre & his wife.
The emotions of the children (who actually appear to be shrunken adults in the picture) and of the wife are especially well portrayed.
Probably an electrotype copy of the original plate, with cracks i partly fixed in #GIMP3
