Discipline Among The Cruel Wives

We once again return to that old anti-Mormon treatise for another implausible drawing of their supposed “secret crimes”, namely, a brisk fustigation followed by a cold shower. It’s always the senior wives who are the most cruel in these lurid accounts:

Morman Wife Menaced With A Stick

Here’s some more “charming” artwork from that 1880s anti-Mormon treatise. It’s captioned “Mormon Household Discipline” but I have no idea what the poor lady is supposed to have done, or not done, to earn such a menacing lecture during her hasty meal:

Whip Supervision For Mormon Slave-Wives

This “charming” print of a relaxed fellow chilling with a whip in his hands while his slave-wives hoe a field is from the cover of an 1880s anti-Mormon propaganda tract called The Mysteries of Mormonism: A Full Exposure of its Secret Practices and Hidden Crimes:

I also have another higher-resolution version of the art captioned “Wives As Slaves”.
