[between 1840 and 1880?] |
| Description |
The angry woman beats her philandering lover with a broom as he lies across her lap. A speech bubble by her head reads " HOW
DARE YOU PLAY WITH THE SERVANT?" as he cries, "Oh! Oh!" The positioning suggests both that he is a child, and she is domineering.
The man is contorted, and the woman appears larger than him.

| Notes |
Text: It's evident, my angry fair, / Whate'er your wrongs, how much you (bare) bear, / Tho' I would rather not be sharing
/ My lot with on who's so for-bareing: / Such wives as thee who ever's got 'em, / Will find they're very hard at BOTTOM! /
So I for my part would decline / Such a very striking Valentine.
