(This book was produced from scanned images of public domain material from the Google Print project.) "Familiar Faces" by Harry Graham is a collection of humorous poems written in the early 20th century. The book presents a satirical examination of various types of people within society, utilizing sharp wit and clever rhyme to depict their flaws and eccentricities. Graham’s unique style brings to life the amusing quirks of these "familiar faces," all while critiquing social norms and behaviors. The collection features a series of light-hearted character sketches that playfully poke fun at a variety of personas, including the fumbler, the baritone, the actor-manager, and the gilded youth, each presented with vivid imagery and clever observations. Through whimsically structured verses, Graham explores themes of pretension, self-importance, and the absurdities of everyday life. For instance, the "policeman" exemplifies stoicism, while the "gourmand" illustrates the humorous excesses of culinary obsession. Overall, "Familiar Faces" combines humor with social commentary, offering readers both entertainment and insight into human nature.
