Scope and Contents

Engraving (coloured impression.) A man lies on his back in bed, face set in grim endurance. His wife, beside him, sits up to bawl: “Yes you base Man you dont you eat drink and sleep comfortably at home and still you must be jaunting abroad every night – I’ll find out all your Intrigues – you may depend upon it.” A small dog sits on the bed yelping at the man, a large one sleeps on the ground. Partial description from the Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires Vol. VII.
