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
