Summary[edit]

Description

"The Age of Iron. Man as he Expects to be", an 1869 lithograph print published by Currier and Ives (152 Nassau St., New York).

This is a satirical anti-feminist caricature of a wife going out for an evening, leaving her husband to look after the baby at home and sew. The gender-role reversal extends to the servants, where the carriage-driving servants are female, while the one washing clothes is male (the opposite of the usual situation of the time).
