‘Once more the Orange joins the British Rose, And fragrant Sweets they mutually disclose; Entwin’d by Nature’s Bonds, their Charms unite, And from the Foil the Jewel shines more bright.’ The price of the Mount painted in proper colours, 1s. 6d. Ready mounted upon neat sticks, 2s. 6d. The ‘New Nassau Fan,’ advertised by Hylton, is here given, and must certainly be said to bear very fair comparison with Pinchbeck’s. The portraits of the royal pair occupy a medallion in the centre, supported by Cupids above; two winged figures are holding a wreath and blowing trumpets, from which are suspended the royal arms of the two respective countries. Below is a ribbon inscribed, ‘Ad Altiora Speramus,’ with a Cupid holding a royal crown and star. A scroll, at the extremities of which are two medals of George II. and William the Silent, Prince of Orange, is inscribed: ‘Brittons now y^r Poems sing, Love and Beauty Garlands bring; Heavens Ann and Nassau joyn To glad George and Caroline.’ In addition are figures of Peace with olive branch and dove, and Liberty holding cap on a staff, together with a Bible inscribed ‘B. Sacra,’ a lion at her feet. The fan is freely etched, coloured by hand, and mounted on plain wavy wooden sticks. Pinchbeck continued to advertise his fan until April 20, 1734, when, presumably, popular interest in the affair waned. In 1730-33, Hogarth produced his ‘Harlot’s Progress’ (commenced at the time of his marriage), its various scenes being promptly pirated by the fan-makers. Mr. F. G. Stephens, in his _Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires_, British Museum, vol. iii. part I, page 28, refers to fans printed with copies from ‘A Harlot’s Progress,’ three designs being on each side of the fan, usually printed in red ink. These fans, says Nichols, Hogarth’s biographer, were customarily given to the maid-servants in Hogarth’s family, doubtless as moral lessons.[152] M. Gamble had advertised them during the year 1733 in the _Craftsman_ and _Daily Journal_. In a footnote to his advertisement of the Church of England fan we have the following:— _N.B._—‘For those that are Curious, a small number are work’d off on fine Paper, fit to Frame. Likewise a new Edition of the ‘Harlot’s Progress’ in Fans, or singly to Frame.’—_Daily Journal_, Jan. 24, 1733. By the kindness of Mr. C. Fairfax Murray we are enabled to illustrate an excellent example of one of these very rare fan leaves, inscribed in ink (probably by the collector Baker), ‘Given to me by Mrs. Hogarth, 1781.’ In the centre is the quack doctor, printed in a greenish yellow, the two side scenes of ‘Bridewell’ and the ‘Funeral’ in a rich red, the fan being engraved in pure line. The scenes are inscribed respectively—‘In a high Salivation’; ‘In Bridewell beating of Hemp’; and the ‘Funeral’; with suitable explanatory verses. [Illustration: The Harlot’s Progress, after Hogarth.
