Summary A satirical coloured French print, ca. 181 Postcard

Summary A satirical coloured French print, ca. 1815, that parodies knightly orders (such as the English order of the Garter, etc. etc.), which traditionally held annual feasts on the day of the patron-Saint of the order. This caricature makes full use of the traditional European folkloric metaphor that the husband of a sexually unfaithful wife has horns on his head. In fact, all the individuals shown (except Infidelity herself, her servant cupid, and the fifth person from the right) are wearing horns -- and there's a basket of extra horns to the left of the throne, and the canopy above the throne is decorated with smaller horns. expired implement the rule of the shorter term Asturianu Catal? esky Dansk Deutsch English Esperanto Espa?ol Euskara Fran?ais Gaeilge Galego Italiano Lietuvi Magyar Nederlands Norsk (nynorsk) Plattd??tsch Polski Portugu?s Rom?n Slovenina Slovenina Shqip Suomi S?megiella T?rk?e () () NewPP limit report 807?541 Churchh Caricatures Marriage Sexuality 1810s fashion
