Description
Alt text: A comic postcard titled "The Ten Commandments for Husbands." The image features a collage of ten small, triangular or rectangular illustrations arranged in a fan-like pattern, each depicting a different humorous "commandment" for a husband. These include a husband kneeling before his wife, a man closing his eyes while his wife's "friends" are over, and a man struggling to care for a baby while the wife sleeps. The text for each commandment is written within or next to its corresponding image. The Ten Commandments for Husbands read as follows: 1. She shall be your master and you shall not love another one. 2. The Key of the house is always enclosed by her dear little hand. 3. You shall love your mother-in-law as much as yourself - she is bounty personified. 4. If your wife has one friend you shall close one eye. When she has 2 of them you shall close both eyes. 5. Once a week you shall go out and return at ten o'clock. 6. You shall not care for money-affairs she always take care that it does not abound. 7. It is quite suffiient when the bird above comes twice to your home. 8. You shall eat whatever she cooks even if you have to pay it with your own life. 9. You shall have care of the children in order they don't interupt your wife's sleep. 10. Your wife engages female servants so as not to try your fidelity too severely. A band below the postcard has the text "Palczewski Suffrage Postcard Archive."
