Two engravings on one sheet, each 125 x 200mm (5 x 8"), very large margins.
Two satires: above, three ugly country bumkins argue about which of them is the most beautiful; below a rake lunges at a young woman while her brother attempts to pull her away. Two plates from 'Human Passions Delineated' by John Collier (1708-1786), an English caricaturist and satirical poet who used the pseudonym Tim Bobbin. He considered himself to be the 'Lancashire Hogarth' and he both wrote and illustrated this collection of Lancashire dialect poetry. It contained some 120 plates, savagely parodying the behaviour of both the upper and lower classes.
