Sponging his Aspidistra

This wonderful double entendre has been published in two versions. I'm sure a fashion expert could probably pinpoint which came first.

In the early part of the 20th century almost every middle class home would have had an aspidistra plant.

Both cards are published by D. Constance Ltd., No. 1038


Both versions have the "Keep Saving For A Rainy Day" rhyme on the reverse. I also have a copy of the card on the right which doesn't have the rhyme and could indicate that it is the later version.
