"The Matrons in Hanging-Sleeves, or The Enquirer into Nature", an eighteenth-century satire (or "satyr") against sex-education. This caricature print shows women and girls looking at an exhibition display of a wax-model cutaway view of human pregnancy (with other suggestive statuettes on a side table at left); the poem beneath condemns the "bawdy Itch of knowing secret Things / And tracing human Nature to its Springs" as being a symptom of modern degeneracy (as opposed to the female virtue of previous ages) -- and as being morally dubious for inherently "frail" women, and incompatible with the highly-desirable "innocence" of unmarried girls. The poem in the print reads:
The Roman emperor Nero is mentioned above because of the story that when he assassinated his mother Agrippina, he cut open her womb so that he could see where he had come from. For an 18th-century wax model somewhat like the one which is considered to be a source of moral corruption here, see Image:Specola 20.jpg (from en:La Specola museum).
