Wm. Hogarth Sculp.
Copper engraving. 260 x 356mm. 10¼ x 14". Vertical crease and staining down the centre.
In Smyrna (Izmir in Turkey), women performing a folk dance. "1" is one of the chief women, "7" is her daugher; both wearing Turkish headdresses. "3" is a country girl of Scio with characteristic habit. "4" is a Greek woman from Constantinople. Hogarth has taken these costumes from 'Recueil', pls. 68, 74 and 75, but he has combined them in his own way.
