Légende
'Pilgrims and Pilgrims', 1873. A nattily dressed modern pilgrim casually lights a cigar as he talks about the perils of pilgrimage with the Ancient Pilgrim, dressed in the clothes of the past. He is carrying a staff, and the shell icon of a previous pilgrimage is in his hat. Here, Punch points up the devaluation of the religious tradition of pilgrimage which ought surely to carry with it a certain amount of renunciation and discomfort. From Punch, or the London Charivari, September 6, 1873.
