Description

Moveable Valentine. Hand-coloured woodcut with a moveable part on wove paper. A well-dressed couple of the middle-classes in a bedroom interior. The woman has the man over her knee with his trousers pulled down and is spanking him with a birch. A paper lever operated through a slit in the paper at lower centre makes the lower part of the woman's left arm move up and down. The lower part of the arm is pinned to the upper through the paper with a metal rivet (rusted). A printed verse below: "Poor fellow does your wife ill-use you! / Or does she give you blow for blow? / Perhaps she does it to amuse you, / Still, myself, I should'nt [sic] think so. / And you fair lady do not show, / The world you use your husband so." Printed at lower left: London: Marks & Sons.
