Haha!

Context is everything.

I loved and lost somewhere this ancient photo of a "Draper's Assistant" who had been photographed because he suffered from that most nefarious of Victorian diseases, "chronic masturbation."

It was all presented in a very textbooky fashion.

I think about that guy every few months my entire life I think.

I wonder if he knew how fucked it all was.

Or if they made him feel like a leper until the day he died.

The Poor Draper's Assistant.

The Draper himself was probably the biggest wanker in town.

And a squealer.
