Pretty Little Games by Thomas Rowlandson

Pretty Little Games for Young Ladies & Gentlemen, with Pictures of Good Old English Sports and Pastimes

(1845)

After his death, many of Thomas Rowlandson‘s (1757-1827) prints were used by printers to illustrate broadsides. The ten verses included in this volume were first published in 1845 as a set entitled Pretty Little Games for Young Ladies & Gentlemen, with Pictures of Good Old English Sports and Pastimes. Despite being censored, they were very popular, and continued to be reprinted up until the 1870s.
