- Abstract
-
A "line and dot" series of caricatures featuring scenes with stick figures (or "pin men"), both male and female, engaged in some form of public violence, arranged in two rows, each grouping individually titled. In the first row the designs are titled: "You lie, sir!", "Proceeding to blows", "Friends ending the dispute" and then a larger group of figures with the title "Dispute at cards: ending in a round game". In the second row: "In love I perceive", "Prick'd to the heart. She's gone, she's gone!", "Met to part no more", "O! Thou false wretch", "O, Sophia fairest of women", "How you teaze me Charles" and "I'll seek revenge", and a pair of designs labeled above "The effects of jealousy" and on the left "Now for the fatal blow" and "Keep your distance fellow."

Date conjectured from that of the published print of the same design.
