After taking the above impressions, Hogarth changed the point of his satire from the superstitious absurdities of popery & ridiculous personification delineated by ancient painters, to the popular credulities of his own day, erased or essentially altered every figure except two, & on the same piece of copper engraved the plate which is copied on the opposite page., Dedication etched below title: Humbly dedicated to his Grace the Arch Bishop of Canterbury, by his Graces most obedient humble servant Wm. Hogarth., Text following dedication: Advertisement. The intention of this print, is to give a lineal representation, of the strange effects of literal and low conceptions of sacred beings, as also of the idolatrous tendency of pictures in churches, and prints in religious books, &c., "Page 233"--Above image, right., Sheet trimmed to plate mark., Copy of: Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum.
