This cartoon print by George du Maurier depicts a humorous yet thought-provoking scene of marital responsibility in the 19th century. The illustration portrays a husband and wife, highlighting the traditional notion that the husband is responsible for his wife's debts unless he publicly revokes this obligation. Du Maurier, a talented Franco-British cartoonist and author, skillfully captures the dynamics of marriage and financial burdens through his satirical lens. The image serves as a social commentary on wealth disparity, poverty, and societal expectations surrounding matrimony during that era. The artist's intricate details bring life to this comical portrayal. From their facial expressions to their body language, every element conveys a story.
