Abstract:
"The lettering of the title is in an oval, the dedication in a circle beneath the oval, both being enclosed by a continuous border of ornament. The border is surrounded by scrolls of conventional ornament; from the two lowest scrolls, on each side of the dedication, hang two medallion bust portraits of Garrick, one (left) in profile to the left, the other (right) in profile to the right. These resemble the decoration of the Society of the School of Garrick worn by Charles Bannister in a half length mezzotint portrait."--British Museum online catalogue and "This title-page was used for composite volumes of caricatures bound in boards which include prints not only before but after 1776. It may have been originally issued in connexion with one or more of the series of folio prints issued by Darly, possibly to subscribers to the very numerous series which appeared in at least two volumes between 1776 and 1778 , and perhaps in 1779 ..."--Curator's comments, British Museum online catalogue
