This illustration accompanied a story in Harper\u2019s Weekly, \u201cThe Empty Sleeve at Newport; or, Why Edna Ackland Learned to Drive.\u201d Captain Harry Ash, having lost an arm, returned from the war seeking his love, Edna Ackland, who, he discovered, had learned to drive a horse and buggy in his absence. The returning men confronted women who had adjusted to changed circumstances and sometimes took a stronger role in the relationship. Captain Ash and Edna Ackland resolve their misunderstandings as she explains to him, \u201cI must be left and right hand [for you] also, should it be God\u2019s pleasure . . . And I learned, as I have learned many things, for love of you.\u201d The dominance of the nineteenth-century male prevails when Ash exclaims in the end: \u201cYet, for all that, his eye is on the road and his voice guides her; so that, in reality, she is only his left hand, and he, the husband, drives.\u201dObject metadata can change over time, please check the Brooklyn Museum object record for the latest information.
