Description
Simple sketches of different types of pants wore throughout a man’s life, ranging from different types of work (or lack there of) and his childhood. Beside each pair of pants they are labelled with a number and the type of pants that are drawn. In the BRC it says “AN EVOLUTION IN LEG WEAR COMMONLY KNOWN AS PANTS. GO BY THE NUMBERS”verso: in the BRC there appears to be a sketch of a man signing, above him there are images of two people that have been cut off (making it difficult to tell what they are doing), and “ato min” written. To the left of the man signing there appears to be music notes and the letters “KT”
