* Gillray (James). Matrimonial Harmonics, published by H. Humphrey, October 25th 1805, etched caricature with contemporary hand-colouring, trimmed to the neat line, slight adhesions scaring to the verso, 250 x 350 mm, together with Tales of Wonder! published H. Humphrey, Feby. 1st 1802, etched caricature with contemporary hand-colouring, trimmed to the neat line, some adhesions scaring to the verso, 250 x 345 mmQTY: (2)NOTE:BM Satires 10473 & 9932.Two social caricatures. The second shows four ladies seated around a table, whilst one reads aloud. The expressions on their faces would suggest that the contents of the book(s) are titillating, scandalous and salacious - or possibly all three. A volume on the table is labelled 'The Monk'; intended to suggest that the book being read is one of the three volumes of the hugely successful and scandalous novel by that name published by Matthew ("Monk") Lewis in 1796. The book was regarded as so salacious that it only narrowly escaped prosecution for indecency. The title of the caricature - Tales of Wonder - is also the name of an anthology of poems by Matthew Lewis. It is more than likely that Gillray's print is commercially linked with the Lewis collection and that Lewis may well have decided to commission Gillray to help advertise his works. This argument is confirmed by the slightly later state which carries a dedication to Lewis and explicitly advertises the connection between the caricature and the author of 'The Monk'.
