Gratuitous 18th Century Posting (TM)
James Gillray, A Voluptuary under the horrors of Digestion, 1792
Regular readers are well aware of my fondness for all things late 18th Century British (including the above gratuitous whack at the then-Prince of Wales, the lout).
So when Gail over at Scribal Terror dropped me a hat-trick of topical links, of course I couldn't resist passing them on. Here, therefore, I present you Captain Cook vs. the Kanagaroo, an 18th Century forerunner of Janet Jackson and a handy-dandy guide to local ladies of the evening, complete with talents, prices and customer satisfaction testimonials.
By the bye, we're getting ready to give the ol' blogroll a good shaking 'round here. I should have put ST on it a long time ago and intend to shortly. If you're not a regular over at Gail's already, you ought to be.
Yip! Yip!
