The front of the card features four distinct panels, each illustrating a detailed part of a mosquito's anatomy alongside a line of a poem or narrative. The first panel shows the mosquito's legs and abdomen, with the text "I'm a young Mosquito! Don't deny it, Sir, / You see I have no wings and cannot stir." The second panel focuses on the mosquito's wings, accompanied by "But you! I have wings and therefore, you see, / The food of your own hand I can't take from me." The third panel depicts the mosquito's body, with the text "But you, young Mosquito! I have not a wing, / And therefore, I am innocent, innocent, my King." The final panel shows the mosquito's head and wings, with the text "No, no, young Mosquito! I'm innocent, I'm sure, / I'm innocent, innocent, and pure, and pure." The overall presentation suggests a whimsical or allegorical take on the insect. |
