Favourite for July

For only the second time in my "favourite" series I'm choosing to feature a drawing.  I chose it because I can still recall the first time I saw this in the original magazine and it was such a powerful image.  The interesting use of "Brown and White" instead of "Black and White" seems to add to the affect and enhances the story.

I don't recall what the relationship was supposed to be between the powerfully built military gent and the young slip of a girl but a number of things are very clear.  She is a slender and fragile young thing and her thin shift dress is going to give next to no protection to her buttocks and we can indeed see the shape of those as the flimsy material drapes across them. The leather implement he has seized to chastise appears to be some sort of saddlery and as such is likely to be thick and hard leather.  He is clearly furious over something and is no mood to listen to her and is going to teach her a very hard lesson before this session is out and he's aiming at the most tender spot.   And from the way her hands have lifted from the table we can see the shock that is coursing through her even though her thrashing has only just begun and she looks likely to be there for some time until his anger begins to abate.
