HOGARTHS HARLOTS PROGRESS RARE COPY 1730





"A most curious etching of Plate IV. the Bridewell scene, reversed, from the copies the same size of the original printed for Thomas Bowies and John Bowles, most probably unique, was in Arthur Pond's collection. It was bought in Baker's sale, 1825, for Mr. Standly, for 81. 18s. 6d."
