[A procession of painters to the shrine of Bacchus] [graphic].

Published / Created:
[1751]
Call Number:
Folio 75 H67 800 v.1 (Oversize)
Image Count:
1
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

Abstract:
Tom Nero, now a highwayman, has been arrested for the murder. He stands in the churchyard over the body of his pregnant lover, Ann Gill, whose throat and wrist are severed. One from the group of men who have apprehended Tom show him the knife as the others restrain him; they are armed with pitchforks, sticks, and other farm tools. Ann lies on her back on the ground, the bundle of plate that she has stolen from her mistress at Nero's request spilling out at her side. The light from the lantern in the left foreground illuminates the contents of Ann's letter to Tom telling the story of her entanglement and guilt. A box with her initials is open revealing a copy of the Book of Common Prayer and a copy of God's revenge against murder. Also on the ground near the lantern are Tom's pistol and a collection of watches that he has stolen. The clock in the church tower shows 1:00; a bat and owls circle overhead
