What it is
A 1901 broadside by Posada titled La Mujer de Cien Maridos, Como Alfileres Prendidos: the woman of a hundred husbands, pinned on like pins. The National Gallery of Art holds it and released the image as CC0.
Why it matters
Scandal, crime and domestic farce were the staples of the Mexico City street sheet, and Posada drew all of them.
What to notice
The subtitle supplies the joke the title only promises.
Gossip, printed and sold by the sheet.
