Berkley Horse

The Berkley Horse is a BDSM apparatus, supposedly designed for, or by, Theresa Berkley in 1828.

According to the account of Henry Spencer Ashbee:

A notorious machine was invented for Mrs Berkley to flog gentlemen upon, in the spring of 1828. It is capable of being opened to a considerable extent, so as to bring the body to any angle that might be desirable. There is a print in Mrs Berkley's memoirs, representing a man upon it quite naked. A woman is sitting in a chair exactly under it, with her bosom, belly, and bush exposed: she is manualizing his embolon (swelling), whilst Mrs Berkley is birching his posteriors.
