Scope and Contents

Created by Richard Newton. Published by William Holland. A good-looking young woman (right) walks in profile to the right, leaning slightly forward, her hands held out as if alarmed. Her skirts project at the back. She says, "My back Settlements I fear will not secure me from a discovery". She wears a plain hat with a conical crown over a muslin cap. An elderly and ugly woman (right) crouches behind her, inspecting her back, and saying, "God bless me what a discovery! Yes; yes, it is certainly the Q------s A------!" 1 July 1791. Hand-coloured etching. Description from the British Museum.
