Amidst the tranquil Victorian era, misbehavior took various forms, from mischievous cats causing chaos in schoolrooms, to naughty children being sent to the dunce corner. Even the sacred halls of the Sacred Heart of Jesus weren't immune to the occasional disruption. But misbehavior wasn't limited to the home or school. During the Civil War, unruly Union soldiers were punished for fighting and other unacceptable conduct, as depicted in this pencil drawing by Alfred R. Waud. And let's not forget the notorious misbehaving husband in a Piccadilly night house or the terrifying child-eating ogre lurking in the shadows. Misbehavior, it seems, was a universal constant, even in the most unexpected places and times.
