I found some interesting commentary on the Lustucru character.
The article is :
Joan DeJean. "Violent Women and Violence against Women: Representing the "Strong" Woman in Early Modern France." Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society 2003, vol. 29, no. 1
The link is: http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/SIGNS/journal/issues/v29n1/290119/290119.html
The goal of the article is to examine "the relation between violent women and violence against women... and to reflect on possible connections between images and reality". It's all very interesting (the author addresses the frondeuses/amazones and the précieuses) but Lustucru is discussed about halfway along, around Fig. 8. She even speaks to some of the gravures that we are working on : "opération céphalique", "la grande déstruction" etc.
Cleaned up images, updated XML files, and created variant images for:

A use of the British v-sign shows up on the opening credits to Shameless, about six seconds in (not so clear, unfortunately). But the earliest use does seem to be recorded in France, in Rabelais. But Wikipedia says it's actually anti-French.
