Joe, you're missing the first in the series originally produced by EFDSS but Clive is working on a new edition which will almost be a facsimile of the EFDSS edition with new cover in the style of the Boutle editions, as Nick says.

Nick, I've sent Clive a possible cover print refashioned from a cut in the Pepys Collection. It shows the husband stood on the river bank with his wife splashing about in the river. I've had to doctor it somewhat but it's the best fit.

My first effort from a Marrow Bones broadside showed a woman beating her husband and Clive understandably didn't want to use this one.

However, if anyone has a better offer, of an appropriate cut from the 17th/18th century, we'd be glad of it.
