Saucy Faux Raffle Ticket -- Making Fun of Trendy Large Bustle Sizes
- United States , 1875
United States, 1875. Very good. Toned, a little dust soiling.. A saucy faux raffle ticket with an illustration of a woman with a massive bustle on the left. To the right, it reads, "RAFFLE For a Double-Jointed, Steam-Heating, Anti-Corrosive, Self-Acting, Non-Explosive, Back-Action CENTENNIAL BUSTLE. Warranted not to Rip, Ravel, or Run down at the Heel. For the Benefit of a Young Lady suffering from the Pull-back. Tickets: 3 Smacks and a Squeeze". Verso blank. Saucy, and makes fun of the latest trends in bustle sizes which had, in fairness, by the 1870s ballooned quite a bit. Measures approx. 1.75" by 3
