What reading level is Transactions of the Anthropological Society of Washington 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In all the eleven cases of tattooing on the penis, a boot, sometimes with a spur on it, was the emblem adopted, and the men acknowledged that the object was to admit of a frightful play upon words, untrans- latable, and too vile to be repeated.
The breast is reserved for large compositions, portraits, and even verses.
On the back are sometimes seen some very extensive pieces of tattooing. Lacassagne describes a portrait of the Admiral Jean Bart, which was 37 c. long by ■t^'t^ c. wide. A Joan of... Arc, 41 c.
by 39 c. An Abd-el-Kader, 30 c. by 30 c.
Upon the buttocks, obscene designs were mostly found, a com- mon one being a serpent in numerous folds with the head directed to the anus. In another instance, a large eye was drawn on each buttock. In another, two zouaves crossing bayonets and support- ing a scroll inscribed on n' entre pas. A portrait of Bismarck or of a Prussian soldier was not unusual, the locality indicating a patriotic contempt for the enemies of France.
Sailors who have visited many countries furnish, in some instances, by the marks on their bodies, a chronology of their career ; a certain tree indicates a tropical country ; a certain color, some particular island ; tattooing by incisions, instead of pricking, indicates a visit to New Zealand or to some parts of Africa.
