King death on the stage, lacing Kittie Tyrrel tightly. 19th C
View through Europeana Collections
Lettering: King death on the stage. Tight Lacing! "Good God, Harry, undo me; I'm dying", gasped poor Kittie Tyrrel, who was playing in the Elephant and Castle pantomime. The Coroner: What did she mean? Harry: She was laced very tightly. A post-mortem examination showed that death was due to syncope. The Coroner: What caused this? Witness: She was very tightly laced, and I think this had brought on failure of the heart's action.
