Publish'd as the Act directs, April 1st 1789, by J. Jones, No.75 Great Portland Street, Marylebone.
Stipple. Sheet 380 x 270mm (15 x 10½"). Collector's stamp of painter Sir Thomas Lawrence lower left. Trimmed within plate, small repaired hole in title edge.
The fourth & fifth children of George, 4th Duke of Marlborough: Lady Charlotte Spencer (1769-1802), later married Rev. Edward Nares; and Lord Henry John Spencer (1770-95), later MP and diplomat, but died of fever in Berlin aged 24. Charlotte is telling Henry's future by reading his palm. In this example the names of the subjects are in small letters just under the image. The British Museum has two apparent later states: the first, dated 1790, has the dedication removed and 'Lord Henry and Lady Charlotte Spencer' as the scratched letter title, engraved around the crest, described as a proof; the second, dated 1791 has the crest removed and the title 'The Young Fortune Teller'. Sir Thomas Lawrence (1769-1830) took over as 'Principal Painter in Ordinary to the King' when Joshua Reynolds died in 1792.
Hamilton, p.65, states jumbled. This predates the 1790 of the first state, has the dedication of the second state and has 'Marylebone' added to the publisher's address as per the third.
