THE STORY:

"Love Potion

The drawing shown above depicts a scene in which a mother makes her daughter a "love potion". It was believed that to obtain ones love you should boil his or her socks in water and then drink the extract. This was believed, like it was believed with all "love potions" containing human fluids of some kind, to be most effective."

That's a very odd way of doing it. Well, I suppose a sock is easier to get than some of his body fluid... still, unusual.
