A Map of a Woman’s Heart, 1833-1842

[Jazzy]

Published by D.W. Kellog between 1833-1842, this amusing Map of the Open Country of Woman’s Heart paints the “fairer sex” in a rather unflattering light. From the mole traps in the Province of Deception, to the city of Moi-meme in the Land of Selfishness, to the Plains of Susceptibility in the Region of Sentimentality, this ever-so-charming illustration certainly demonstrates this Victorian gentleman’s equal taste for maps and disdain for women. I suspect this fellow must have had a recent broken heart. But then again, that just be my Jilting Corner (in the Land of Coquetry, of course) talking.

I found this map to be very funny. What are your thoughts on this?

The gentleman that came up with that probably either had a tough round of it with a few ladies, or his mother was a living nightmare.



On the other hand, I have known a few that that would be a fair description of, although I don't see the Village of Treachery or the Sea of Gossip as there are some titles on the work that I can't easily read on the screen.
