The Treacherous Folding Bed
This subject depicts a youth slightly intoxicated preparing to retire. As he throws himself on the bed (which had previously been "fixed" by his comrades so as to collapse when occupied) the top and back of same falls on the occupant who finds it difficult to extricate himself. The victim evidently does not see the joke, which however is much enjoyed by his companions in hiding.
