Bound portfolio of 67 prints by William Hogarth. According to Ronald Paulson it was assembled in 1753, possibly by Hogarth himself for his friend Bishop Hoadly. Formerly held in a library in Winchester, Hoadly's diocese. The first sheet is the portrait print of 'Bishop Hoadly' rather than the more common 'Gulielmus Hogarth' suggesting that it was assembled for Hoadly. The latest print is 'Breaking the egg" without receipt, suggesting a publication date after December 1753 when 'Analysis' was published

"An etching of Hogarth seated at a table, holding in one hand a port-crayon, in the other his print of "John Wilkes E", to which satire this is a rejoinder. Tied to Hogarth's right elbow, as if it were an impediment or guide in the use of his skill, is a bag marked "300£ per ann for distorting features"; he has a pug nose, and an impudent, hard look; his feet are cloven like a satyr's; one of his legs is that of a satyr, and it tramples on the cap and spear of Liberty. His dog 'Trump' squats under the table, on which is a paint-pot containing "Colours to blacken fair carachters [sic]". A palette and sheaf of brushes hang off the collar of the Hogarth's dog; on the palette is the "Line of Beauty". The bag refers to Hogarth's appointment as Serjeant-Painter to the King. Behind Hogarth, an ape appears in the act of drawing or measuring a "Line of Beauty" on a canvas set on an easel. Likewise behind on the left, an ugly, skeletal, old, one-eyed woman in a fontange, her lean bust much exposed, holds a mirror and a fan. The woman may be a reference to Mrs. Hogarth. An owl is drawn on the back of Hogarth's chair
