About this work

A hand-colored print titled The Lottery Contrast shows a crowded Touchpenny Fortune and Winall's State Lottery Office, with ragged men and a gentleman in a red coat pressing toward the door. A richly dressed woman in a blue cloak and red-ribboned hat stands outside beside a ragged boy, and signs display lottery tickets and prize amounts. The print is credited to Robert Dighton and published by Bowles and Carver, with verses below contrasting fortune and poverty.
