Getting started with the collection:
De vermoeyde dienst meyt (The Tired Maidservant)
anonymous, c. 1700 - c. 1799
The master of the house chances upon his practically naked maidservant in bed. His curiosity aroused, he has put on his spectacles to compare her body with that of his spouse. He covers her vagina with his hat, apparently for the sake of ‘decorum’. Erotic prints were often anonymous because engravers did not want to risk their reputation.
