I have already mentioned "The Harlot's Progress," and its immediate successor, "The Rake's Progress," the subjects of which speak for themselves. The country maiden's arrival in London, the breakfast scene with her Jewish admirer, and the scene in Bridewell are to be noted among the prints of the first Series; but all are full of character and interest.

The eight 'Rake's Progress' pictures had fetched but twenty-two guineas each. The six 'Harlot's Progress, fourteen guineas each. The 'Strolling Players' had gone for twenty-six guineas!
