Scope and Contents

Engraving (coloured impression.) A fat elderly citizen, solidly seated, is beset by two pretty young women who offer him fruit. His wife (left) says: “You must have some apricots my love;” her sister (right) adds: “Just taste these Grapes Brother in Law you never eat finer.” He shouts up with angry suspicion to the latter: “wont eat any thing more I tell you – I shall be choaked – got an eye to the Estate I suppose.” Partial description from the Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires Vol. VII.
