The Pharo Table. Engraved for the Carlton House Magazine.

Engraving. 110 x 180mm (4¼ x 7"), with 4pp. text. Trimmed within plate on left with text. Large margins on 3 sides.
A scene of a Faro card party, with men and women around a table. The text is a warning about sharp practices in apparently genteel drawing rooms and the ease with which huge losses could be accrued. Faro, a hugely-popular gambling game before being superceded by Poker, was notoriously crooked: 'Hoyle’s Rules of Games' once included a warning that not a single honest faro bank could be found in the United States. Famous players included Casanova, Charles James Fox, Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday.
