Millinery Trade Card, 1886

Climax

Heh heh heh HEH HEH HEH HEH…

So - obviously not a drawing, but it’s inspiration for perhaps a tongue-in-cheek drawing I have in mind down the road. I don’t ascribe to the framed-trade-cards-lace-parasol-over-the-toilet-plastic-pearl garbage that frequently gets passed off as “Victorian” decor, but I gotta say, if I EVER framed a trade card to hang on the wall - this would be the one. Because unintentionally dirty Victorian trade cards are just more fun.

Heh heh heh…
