Whole-length mezzotinto by Faber. The best impressions are usually in brown ink. The plate was afterwards cut down to a half-length. 5. Arms of the Undertakers' Company. The three figures at top are Dr. Ward, Chevalier Taylor, and Mrs. Mapp, the bone-setter; though it has been said, that the figure supposed to be Mrs. Mapp was intended for Sir Hans Sloane. _First state_--"One compleat Docter," etc. _Second state_--The spelling corrected. 1737. 1. The Lecture, "Datur vacuum." In the early impressions, the words "datur vacuum" are not printed. Hogarth sometimes wrote them in with a pen. Æneas in a Storm. 1738. 1. The four parts of the Day. Morning. The sky singularly muddy to express snow. The figure of the shivering boy was, in 1739, copied by F. Sykes, and is strangely enough christened by collectors, The Half-starved Boy. Noon. In the _second state_--Shadows heightened. Evening. In early impressions the man's hands are printed in blue, and the woman's face and neck in red; but they have been sometimes so stamped in later impressions, where the rail-post is crossed with intersecting lines, and the clearness of the water much injured. In Hogarth's first design (engraved by Baron), the little girl with the fan was omitted; but the artist thinking his delineation would be improved by it, afterwards inserted it with his own burin. I have seen three impressions in this state; one of them, then thought to be unique, was purchased at Greenwood's Rooms, at Mr. Gulston's sale, by Mr. Thane, for the late Mr. G. Stevens, at the price of £47. Night. The Salisbury flying coach has been thought to be a burlesque on a late noble peer, who delighted in driving his own horses. I find by Hogarth's memorandum, that Sir William Heathcote purchased the picture of Morning for twenty guineas, and that of Night for £27, 6s. Noon was sold for £38, 17s., and Evening for £39, 18s., to the Duke of Ancaster. 2. Strolling Actresses dressing in a Barn. _Second state_--The woman holding a cat has her coiffure lowered, and the female greasing her hair with a candle is divested of her feathers. Head of the sable goddess Night blacker, and her hair more woolly. Damages in the roof of the barn repaired; all the shallows darker. By an account in one of Hogarth's books, the original picture was first sold to Francis Beckford, Esq., for £27, 6s. By him, though at so low a price, returned! and afterwards sold for the same sum to Mr. Wood of Littleton, in whose possession it still remains. 1739. 1. The Foundlings. Engraved by Morrellon la Cave. _Vide_ p. 191. 1741. The Enraged Musician. Mr. Cricket has an impression, taken before the man blowing a horn, cats, steeple, play-bill, or drag were introduced. In this very curious, and I believe unique print, the dustman is without a nose, the chimney-sweeper has a grenadier's cap on, and a doll is placed under the trap, composed of bricks, etc.
