"Tameing a Shrew; or, Petruchio's Patent Family Bedstead, Gags & Thumscrews" - a satirical caricature by "Williams", referencing Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. Unlike the majority of domestic abusers in England in 1815 (who crudely pounded on their wives in fits of drunken rage), "Petruchio" in this image takes a coolly methodical disciplinary approach to enforcing wifely obedience. The man's wife has been bound to his bed, he threatens her with thumbscrews, and a sign hangs above her, quoting a line from the wedding service of the time: "Love, honour, and OBEY". See The Satirical Gaze by Cindy McCreery, page 153. From Thomas Tegg's Caricature Magazine, 1815. |
