ca. 1850-55, [portrait of a gentleman as the “wily Yankee”]

The “wily Yankee” was a popular 19th century stage character who became the visual predecessor to “Uncle Sam.” Between acts, the wily Yankee remained on stage, whittled, and told parables. At times, he was known to flirt with both the women and men in the audience as he suggestively carved a stick.

Damn Yankees and their “suggestive” whittling.

#homoerotic whittling

Can I just. Actually no I can’t, this is too great.

This is just so great.
