How to obtain a request [graphic]Grinagain, Giles, printmaker, artist[1 February 1802]engA social satire: a beggar wearing ragged clothes and leaning on a crutch hold his hat out towards a old, well-dressed woman as he says, "My angelic young lady! Heaven preserve your ladyship's beautiful shape and countenance these thousand years! Give a halfpenny to a poor old man." Her face is caricatured, with a large pig-like nose from which long hairs protrude and with growths on her face, but she carries a parasol and is fashionably dressed and wears a feather and flower in her hair and earrings and large beaded necklaceTitle etched below image.Giles Grinagain is possibly a pseudonym of Samuel Howitt.
