Caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson is well known for social, political, and erotic cartoons that drew on inspiration from everyday life. Rowlandson, rather than publishing with journals and newspapers, would sell the works privately to print shops to be published as satirical prints or would illustrate book interiors. The present work appears on page 10 of Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure by John Cleland (Albion Book, 1989) and is accompanied by a copy of the book.
