1868 Beseeching Bully Dominating Fist Husband Inadequate Meek Ogre Quarrelling Threatens Treatment
EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting 1868 print, titled 'Husband / Wife / Ogre,' captures a moment of domestic discord and emotional turmoil. The image portrays a bewhiskered, towering ogre-like husband, his menacing presence looming over his small and meek-looking wife. With a clenched fist raised, he threatens her, his dominance and bullying behavior on full display. Her pleading expression and outstretched hands beseech him for mercy, yet her entreaties seem to fall on deaf ears. The husband's emotional inadequacy and control over his wife are palpable, leaving a sense of unease and discomfort in the viewer. This poignant snapshot into the past serves as a stark reminder of the power dynamics and gender roles that once defined family dynamics. The print, produced in 1868, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, yet the themes of domestic violence and emotional abuse continue to resonate in modern times.
