England's remembrancer: or, A humorous, sarcastical, and political collection of characters and caricaturas : containing, an account of men famous and infamous... in short, of every thing that engaged the public attention during 1756 and 1757. In copper-plates. To which is prefixed, a key, explanatory of the nature and design of each, by the great masters themselves
A London satirical collection printed for bookseller J. Lilburn in 1758, gathering political caricatures and character sketches of public figures from 1756 and 1757, each plate paired with explanatory verse. The four plates shown are rotated sideways on the page, with rhyming captions set in banners and along the margins. A designer could take the crowded, labelled group compositions, with figures arranged in rows and speech scrolls, as models for editorial cartoon layouts.
