- Published / Created:

- Call Number:
- Folio 75 H67 800 v.1 (Oversize)
- Image Count:

- Abstract:
- Description from Steevens's note mounted to the right of the print: A procession of painters to the shrine of Bacchus, a slight but spirited etching. The jolly god appears crowned with a jordan. His altar is a Hogshead. Among the trophies carried along, is a helmet which has a punch bowl & ladle for its crest, and a standard displaying pipies and bottles. A figure, probably designed for old Leveridge the singer, in the character of a priest of Bacchus, is seen in the rear of the cavalcade. The chief characters in this plate are copied & introduced, without the slightest propriety, into a wretched print erroneously attributed to Hogarth, and called The oratory. See. As it is not for a certainity known that this procession was the work of Hogarth*, let the collector who wishes to form his judgment of it from the style in which it is etched, compare it with the festoon of laurel, the subscription ticket for Garrick in King Richard III. *Perhaps it represents part of a Bacchanalian procession painted by Lagueree on the walls of a tavern in Drury-Lane where a club of virtuosi met. See Mr. Walpole's account of Laguerre
