Title and state from Paulson.
Third state; changes have been made to the face of Lord Cog (on the far left), the shadow of Rakewell's wig lying on the floor has been extended to touch the detached queue, and a general darkening has been achieved though the addition of crosshatching in various places.
Restrike of the third state of the plate, which was issued in The original works of William Hogarth (London : Sold by John and Josiah Boydell, 1790). It was later reissued, with some lines strengthened by the engraver James Heath, in The works of William Hogarth (London : Printed for Baldwin, Cradock, and Joy ..., 1822); another edition was published by Baldwin & Cradock in 1835. See Paulson.
"Plate 6"--Lower right corner.
After the painting at Sir John Soane's Museum.
