Laundry Warriors?

This may not be the most useful of images for clip art. I am just posting it here mostly because I found it amusing...what the heck does this image of one man smoking a pipe and another holding a weapon of some sort as they stare in the direction of the sun...have to do with laundry? I think they are knights perhaps (their hoods and bulky clothing perhaps being chain mail?).

The image could be edited to remove the text if one actually has a use for the illustration.

This was found in an old newspaper from 1909.
