Fanny Hill & Pheobe. Women of Pleasure.

[n.d., c.1790.]
Mezzotint. Sheet size: 315 x 245mm (12¼ x 9½"). Cut to image on all sides. Tipped into backing sheet.
An illustration supposedly of John Cleland's 'Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure'. Radically different from George Morland's (1763-1804) more familiar rustic genre, landscapes and elegant portraits of decorous young ladies, this plate graphically depicts sexual intercourse. It is from a series of rude illustrations of popular novels almost certainly engraved by William Ward (1766-1826) and John Raphael Smith (1752-1812), with whom Morland enjoyed a fruitful business partnership. The plates are (naturally) unsigned. For a set of eleven from this series see item ref: 28133. Ex collection of the Hon. Christopher Lennox-Boyd.
