Légende

What I hate are tabbies, in spectacles and mittens, 1875. Misogynistic cartoon. The word Tabby, a pet form of the fem. proper name Tabitha, was late 18th century slang for "spiteful spinster, difficult old woman" (as in Tabbyhood "condition of being an old maid," 1793). Page 52 of "Love Lyrics and Valentine Verses, for young and old [E. M. Davies. With illustrations.]", 1875. [London, England]
