Abstract: "Piracy of plate IV of Hogarth's Rake's Progress with considerable differences: a scene in St James's Street with the Rake (here named Ramble) emerging from a sedan-chair to be arrested for debt; figures in the foreground include a Welshman, probably the creditor, honouring St David's day (March 1st) with a leek in his hat, "Nanny" offering a handful of money to reprieve her former lover, and a lamp-lighter carelessly spilling oil on the Rake's coat; in the distance to left, a group of street-boys point to "Taffy", a mannikin, perched on a lamp-post, and beyond the gate of St James's Palace."--British Museum online catalogue
