Friday Woodcut Caption Contest #4
Speaking of helpmeets, partners, spouses, and significant others, we now present the fourth entry in our ongoing series of woodcuts in need of a caption: The Sultan of Silliness himself, Truewit, was the actual locator of this excellent example of the graphic arts in early modern England, but he's vacationing in undisclosed locations so it's fallen to me (Simplicius) to post it for him. Let the captioning begin. |

The woodcut, by the way, is from a ballad entitled, "The Merry Cuckold." Good for handing out during classes on Allwit and other wittols (should you ever find yourself lucky enough to be teaching a class on wittols).

Thank you, I will be here all of the week. Honestly, I'll understand if you decide to ban me from commenting.
