[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 man is contorted and the woman appears larger than him, which
makes him look childlike, and her appear domineering.

| 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.
