Safe Sex 1830s Style

 A 200 year old illustrated condom is on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. It is being added to the art collection as the first ever contraceptive and luxury souvenir. The condom is thought to come from an upscale brothel in France and features an etching of a partially undressed nun pointing to the erect appendages of three clergymen, saying, "voila, mon choix" (There, that's my choice.) though it can't be determined which man she is pointing at. For those wondering the condom in question was examined with UV light and it is likely it was never used.
