Rude Awakening

Two naughty children get ready to scare their sleeping brother. As the middle child stands ready to wake his older brother by popping a bag full of air, his little sister wonders if it might be a mistake. This fun public domain illustration of naughty children is quite large and could make a great image for a notecard about getting someone’s attention.

Harrison Weir (1824-1906) is the illustrator of record for this circa 1880 children’s book Pictures and Prattle for the Nursery.
