Title: An Essay on Woman. Illustrated with Notes from Various Authors.
Description: Robert Sayer, 17th October, 1772. Etched and engraved print, 335 x 225 mm. trimmed to the border and laid down. A rare satirical/allegorical literary/anatomical engraving featuring a half skeleton mirrored with a fully clothed character. Seemingly not held by any British institutions, this image exists bearing a number of imprints, we previously had one published by M. Darby and dated 1769. However this is a reverse of that image with the woman facing right, as is the copy held at Yale.
