Thanks for the translation, Jonathan! The illustrator did a good job then. Amazing how many women took snuff back then. I think there is an entire short story featuring a snuff box. An old man owned it and I think it was named after a princess or duchess or something.
She looks quite severe!
I like the caption. Google translates it as ‘She takes snuff, stands stiff as a stake … and perfectly resembles a mummy …’
