Summary

"Tameing a Shrew; or, Petruchio's Patent Family Bedstead, Gags & Thumscrews" - a deeply misogynist satirical caricature by "Williams", referencing Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. The man's wife is forced into complete subjugation to the husband, 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.
