One colored engraving titled "Lady Godina's Rout; Or Peeping-Tom spying out Pope-Joan" dated March 12 1796. Features a room full of men and women playing cards. One woman in the front of the image wears a low cut gown. A man leans over her shoulder watching her. It is made evident that he is not paying attention to his job cutting the wick on the candle as he is about to cut into the candle. On the rear of the engraving are two fashion prints from France.
