The painting, created by the renowned British Particular Baptist preacher C.H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) and illustrated by John Ploughman, depicts two men in an unexpected moment of levity. The round-shouldered, bent man, with a distinct hunchback, points and laughs at his neighbor, a gentleman with an upright posture. The painted background of railings adds depth and dimension to the scene, while the contrast between the two men's physical appearances creates a striking visual contrast.

This image, with its subtle commentary on human nature, is a testament to the enduring power of humor and the ability to find joy in the most unexpected places. The "One Hunchback Laughs at Another" lantern slide is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the popular sayings, quotes, and phrases of the late 19th century.
