Main comic:
A woman stands facing forward in a long, conservative blue Victorian-era dress with a white collar, her hands folded in front of her. Several labels point to parts of her appearance with lines.
Label (pointing to her hair): HAIR DOWN
Label (pointing to her folded hands/wrist): BARE WRIST
Label (pointing to her shoes peeking out beneath the hem): MAUVE SHOES
Caption (below the image): The symptoms of nymphomania were much more subtle in 1850.
Votey:
A close-up of a woman's hand and forearm in a dark blue sleeve, the hand relaxed and open, not holding anything.
Label (pointing to the hand): FINGERS NOT CLUTCHING BIBLE

A diagram-style comic shows a prim woman standing in a floor-length, modest blue Victorian dress with a white collar, hands folded in front of her. Pointer lines label supposedly scandalous details: her loose 'HAIR DOWN,' a glimpse of 'BARE WRIST' at her folded hands, and 'MAUVE SHOES' peeking out from under her hem. The caption reads: 'The symptoms of nymphomania were much more subtle in 1850.' The joke is that absurdly innocent details were treated as signs of female sexual deviance. The votey is a close-up of a relaxed open hand in a dark sleeve, labeled 'FINGERS NOT CLUTCHING BIBLE' as one more supposed warning sign.
