Copied from a very curious print designed and engraved by Hogarth, of which there are only two impressions, both of them in the possession of John Ireland. March 15th 1796. [Image of hand with pointing finger]. After taking the above impressions, Hogarth changed the point of his satire from the superstitious absurdities of popery and ridiculous personification delineated by ancient painters, to the popular credulities of his own day, erased or essentially altered every figure except two, and on the same piece of copper engraved the plate now in the possession of Messrs. Boydell, entitled Credulity, superstition & fanaticism, a medley., Dedication etched either side of title: Humbly dedicated to his Grace the Arch Bishop of Canterbury, by his Graces most obedient humble servant Wm. Hogarth., Text following dedication: Advertisement. The intention of this print, is to give a lineal representation, of the strange effects of literal and low conceptions of sacred beings, as also of the idolatrous tendency of pictures in churches, and prints in religious books, &c., Legend to the left of the title: A. After Raphael Urbino. B. After Rubens. C. After Rembrant. D.E.F.G.H. Are imitations of several other painters., Sheet trimmed to plate mark., Copy of: Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum, v. 3, no. 2425., and Copy of: Paulson, R.
