Description: On offer: an original (i.e. not a later reproduction) antique print showing "The Farmer's Return" and "Receipt for a print representing a March to Finchley.". In the former is a scene from David Garrick's play 'The Farmer's Return from London. An Interlude'; Garrick, as the farmer, seated contentedly in a cottage kitchen, smoking a long pipe and with a tankard in his left hand, relating the story of his conversation with the Cock Lane Ghost to his family; at right, the farmer's wife reacts with horror, spilling an upheld jug. The latter shows a Subscription ticket for the "March to Finchley" with an arrangement of Scottish and English weapons and musical instruments; in the centre a pair of scissors excises the Scottish lion from the royal coat-of-arms. Both by Hogarth printed on a single sheet. Printed c.1822 from the original Hogarth plates. DATE PRINTED: c.1822 using Hogarth's original plate published in 1746 (dated on the print) and 1762. SIZE: The sheet is approximately 47 x 63.5 cm, 18.5 x 25 inches (large). The prints are each approximately 23 x 19.5 cm. ARTIST/CARTOGRAPHER/ENGRAVER: Drawn by Hogarth. William Hogarth FRSA (10 November 1697 – 26 October 1764) was an English painter, printmaker, pictorial satirist, social critic, and editorial cartoonist. His work ranged from realistic portraiture to comic strip-like series of pictures called "modern moral subjects", perhaps best known being his moral series A Harlot's Progress, A Rake's Progress and Marriage A-la-Mode. Knowledge of his work is so pervasive that satirical political illustrations in this style are often referred to as "Hogarthian".

The Heath edition was the last to print directly from Hogarth's original engraved plates.
