In the early impressions, the horse's head is white; in its present state, black: and the dog, drag, hatchet, etc. considerably darker than when first engraved. 1742. 1. Martin Folks, Esq., half-length; W. Hogarth, _pinxit et sculpsit_. In early impressions, the name of W. Hogarth, etc. is not inserted. 2. The same, in mezzotinto, engraved by Faber. The original picture from which both these prints are taken is in the meeting-room of the Royal Society, Somerset Place. 3. The Charmers of the Age. A sketch, no name. Of this there is a spirited modern copy. 4. Taste in High Life. _Vide_ p. 186. 1743. 1. Benjamin Hoadley, Bishop of Winchester; engraved by Baron. A small oval from the same picture was, in 1759, engraved by Sherlock. 2. Captain Thomas Coram; a three-quarters mezzotinto; admirably engraved by M'Ardell. 3. Coarsely copied in the _London Magazine_. A copy of the full-length picture in the Foundling Hospital was, in 1797, engraved by Nutter, and published by Mr. Cribb of Holborn. _Vide_ p. 47. 5. Characters and Caricaturas; subscription-ticket to Marriage à la Mode. "For a further explanation of the difference betwixt Character and Caricatura, see y^e Preface to _Jo^h Andrews_." "Received April ----, of ----, half a guinea, being the first payment for six prints called Marriage à la Mode, which I promise to deliver when finished, on receiving half a guinea more. "_N.B._--The price will be one guinea and an half after the time of subscribing." On this print Hogarth makes the following remark:-- "Being perpetually plagued, from the mistakes made among the illiterate, by the similitude in the sound of the words _character_ and _caricatura_, I, ten years ago, endeavoured to explain the distinction by the above print; and as I was then publishing Marriage à la Mode, wherein were characters of high life, I introduced the great number of faces there delineated (none of which are exaggerated), varied at random, to prevent, if possible, personal application when the prints should come out. 'We neither this nor that Sir Fopling call, He's knight o' th' shire, and represents you all.' This, however, did not prevent a likeness being found for each head, for a general character will always bear some resemblance to a particular one." 1745. 1. Marriage à la Mode, in six plates.
