Note 3 — CATALOGUE OF HOGARTH'S PRINTS.[1] (continued 2)
Reading edition
London Daily Post, November 24, 1740. "Shortly will be published, a new print called The Provoked Musician, designed and engraved by Mr William Hogarth; being a companion to a print representing a Distressed Poet, published some time since. To which will be added, a Third on Painting, which will compleat the set; but as this subject may turn upon an affair depending between the right honourable the L—d M—-r and the author, it may be retarded for some time."
Query to what affair does Hogarth allude? Humphrey Parsons was then Lord Mayor.
