Summary

Description
English: "A Mormon and his wives dancing to the devil's tune," illustration to the book "Startling disclosures of the wonderful ceremonies of the Mormon spiritual-wife system: being the celebrated 'endowment,' as it is acted by upwards of fifty thousand men and women in secret, in the Nauvoo, in 1846, and said to have been revealed from God."

Lithograph. Published in 1850 by Blake & Jackson, New York, and written by McGee Van Dusen and Maria Van Dusen. Courtesy of the Yale Collection of Western Americana, Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut.

Illustration shows a corpulent and complacent husband, drawn with something of a pig's face, dancing with his two scantily-clad wives, as a black devil plays the violin.
