Description
English: 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. 1 January 1776

Notes

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) 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, see BMSat 5370-6, 5429-51, 5513-22, 5599-5602. The contents of these volumes vary, some contain all six series of 'Macaronies' published 1771-3, see BMSat 4913, 4986, 5149, &c, three plates being printed on one page [As in the volume exhibited by Mr. Dyson Perrins at the Burlington Fine Arts Club, 1932]. They also include prints published between 1760 and 1779 belonging to a number of different series, and in three sizes, the plates being printed one, two, or three on a page.

The plates included in the composite volume appear to have Matthew Darly's imprint with two exceptions, BMSat 5860, which has no publication line, and 'The Repository or Tatter'd Sale', a print of Tattersall's, published, perhaps etched, by Mary Darly, 1 Jan. 1777. [An impression from the collection of Mr. Minto Wilson was exhibited at the Burlington Fine Arts Club, 1932. It is included in a volume belonging (1933) to Mr. W. T. Spencer, New Oxford Street] Mary Darly etched a portrait of Garrick as Abel Drugger ('B.M. Cat. of Engr. British Portraits'), and the dedication may indicate a personal compliment from her to Garrick. She also published BMSat 4752. For Mary Darly see her portrait, BMSat 4692.
