Harmony before matrimony --- caricature by James Gillray (1805)

在Wiki閒逛看有關豎琴的資料時, 看到一個諷刺漫畫, 下面narration這樣寫的: “This caricature satirizes the system by which middle- and upper-class girls were taught music, drawing, and French on order to attract a husband -- an education which didn't necessarily help them to make the best of living in marriage.”

喂, 其實是不是在諷刺我?
