About this work

An engraved sheet by William Hogarth, dated 1743, fills its upper field with dense rows of caricatured male profiles in wigs and hats, with smaller character studies along the lower band. The lower portion carries printed captions reading Characters and Caricaturas and a handwritten receipt for half a guinea toward six prints called Marriage à la Mode.
