Title

“Emotional!”, Fun (23rd November, 1872), p. 209

Description

In the three months following the appearance of Darwin’s Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, the Victorian humour magazine Fun published several cartoons and even a poem devoted to the book. One exploits Darwin’s view of human emotions being similar to that of animals. Another uses the title of the book to evoke a Boxing Day hangover.
