Scarce etching, 18th century watermark. 285 x 360mm (11¼ x 14¼"), with large margins. Title of later state added in pencil.
Elizabeth Farren as Almeida and Robert Bensley as Omar in Samuel Jackson Pratt's 'The Fair Circassian', first performed in 1781. Almeida's torso is not connected to her petticoats; Omar holds a chain attached to his wrist and a disembodied eye just in front of his face (in shock). The British Museum has an impression with the title 'A Puff Off' in an inscription area under the image, which it believes was never published (BM Satires 6359). This state has the inscription area excised but does not have the etched text in the sky of the later state (BM 6359a), here reproduced in pencil, but lacking 'moving' of 'A Moving Scene...'. The Metropolitan Museum has an impression of this state with the inscriptions of the first state added in old ink, including 'Published March 16th 1782 by C. Bretherton' (17.3.888-337).

London Pub by SW Fores N.3 Piccadilly December 1 1794.
Scarce hand-coloured etching by Isaac Cruikshank; 370 x 280mm (14½ x 11"). On paper watermarked 'J Whatman.' Small margins. Tears repaired with acid free tape. Some cockling and light staining at top left.
With her right hand outstretched and left on her breast, the tall, attractive young lady bends to the right as though she is performing a passionate song. A shorter, stockier woman (possibly Lady Buckinghamshire, Albinia Hobart?) is seen looking up at her from the right. She is clutching a fan and is sporting a hat. Both have partially exposed breasts and short-waisted gowns, a look that suits one but not the other. The singer wears a large scarf around her neck, with the ends tucked in at the waist. Her hair has two upright ostrich feathers, and her ears are adorned with big rings. She is protesting with her right hand above a platter of tartlets and jellies that a footman is holding. His visage and outdated attire are horrifyingly parodied. A full-length portrait of a woman wearing broad, hooped petticoats, a lace apron, and a flat hat in the style of around 1740 hangs on the wall. Her right hand is in a small muff.

Hand-coloured etching, watermark J. Whatman, Turkey Mill; 305 x 420mm (12 x 16½") with small margins. Creases and tears on margins.
A satire on the extreme fashion of 19th century, showing the manufacture and exhibition of an enormous and flamboyant hat. The ridiculous creation is too heavy to actually wear, and requires rigging to support it. The hat is shown hanging by its ropes, with a notice saying ‘The suspension ties are out of order. It is requested that no lady will rashly venture under this hat.’ In the final scene, the notice has been ignored and the ropes have snapped, crushing the ladies below.

Two pretty young women stand stand under a parasol held by a turned paged boy. A friar restrains a young man who is desperate to approach them. A scene from Jean de la Fontaine's (1621-1695) fable 'Friar Phillipes Geese'. a tale in which a friar takes a boy into the wilderness and brings him up free from temptation. However, at the age of twenty the young man meets the young women and becomes besotted: when he asks his father what they are the friar replies that they are geese, a slang name for prostitutes.

Engraving on india, platemark 530 x 400mm (21 x 15¾"), with large margins.
Helen Faucit (1814-98), actress. Widely admired (the writer Thomas de Quincey compared her to Helen of Troy), Carol J.

Engraving after the painting by Rudolf Lehmann, German artist who portrayed many British luminaries in literature and the arts, now in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre Gallery, Stratford-upon-Avon.
