Elephant's Picture Book 
Reblogged this on Polymnia Blues.
This reminds me very much of Albert Camus’ philosophical essay The Myth of Sisyphus –only Sisyphus didn’t have anyone yelling at him to move the rock (well… besides all of the Greek gods, I suppose!)
I should go back to the text for this illustration . . . Interesting thought!

I’m compelled to check the text out myself, now! It’s always a pleasure looking at your blog –beautiful images all around, and so nostalgic.
Thank you – very kind!

Okay, this is silly, but why is it that whenever men work their pants (or togas) fall down?
Oh, you know . . .

Love the thought re: Camus and the image. The Absurd Man would have no onlookers, methinks, but if he did I think the woman’s expression fits.
