(circa 1901): A Stirring Conversation Between The Husband and The Protector This illustration, titled "Compensation," is a captivating snapshot of a conversation between two men, identified as The Husband and The Protector, as they discuss a young woman in the background. The image, part of the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a caricature by the renowned French satirical magazine, Les Maitres de la Caricature, and is believed to date back to the early 1900s. The scene is set in a drawing room, where The Husband, with a determined expression, asks, "And you think I'm gonna let her go like this?" The Protector, a tall, imposing figure, responds with a reassuring smile, "No scandal, sir! The mother and the furniture are yours!" The young woman in question is not visible in the frame, but her presence is palpable, adding an air of intrigue to the conversation. The Husband's concern for her reputation and his possession of her mother and furniture suggest that the woman is likely his wife or fiancée, and that there may be an issue regarding her behavior or intentions. The Protector's role as a confidant and advisor to The Husband is evident in his calming demeanor and his promise to prevent any potential scandal. The furniture and mother, symbols of domestic stability and respectability, further underscore the importance of maintaining a good reputation in this era. This illustration is a fascinating glimpse into the societal norms and values of the early 20th century, where reputation and possessions held significant weight in the lives of individuals. The conversation between The Husband and The Protector is a poignant reminder of the complexities and nuances of human relationships, and the lengths people would go to protect their loved ones and their honor.
