APPENDIX. 341
"733-
fe. 1. The Jour parts of the Day.
* Morning. The sky singularly muddy to express snow.
The figure of the shivering boy, was in 1739 copied by
F. Sykes, and is strangely enough christened by collectors,
Tbe ba/f starved Soy.
* Noon. In the second state, shadows heightened.
" Evening. In early impressions the man's hands are
printed in blue, and the woman's face and neck in red; but
they h:ive been sometimes so stamped in later impressions,
where the rail-post is crossed with intersecting lines, and the
clearness of the water much injured
This print, except the girl with a fan, which was an after-
thought of Hogarth's, was engraved by Baron.
* Nigbt. The Salisbury flying coach, has been thought
to be a burlesque on a late noble peer, who delighted in
■driving his own horses.
I find by Hogarth's memorandum, that Sir William.
Heatbcote purchased the picture of Morning for twenty
guineas ; and that of Nigbt for £zj. 6s. Noon was sold
for £$8. 17s and Evening for £39. iSs. to the Duke of
AncasUr.
b. * 2. Strolling Actresses dressing in a Barn.
Second state. The woman holding a cat, has her coiffure
lowered, and the female greasing her hair with a candle, is
divested of her feathers. Head of the sable goddess Nigbt,
blacker, and her hair more woolly: damages in the roof of
the barn repaired; all the shadows darker.
By an account in one of Hogarth's books, the original
picture was first sold to Francis Beckford, Esq. for/a?. 6s.
By him, though at so low a price, returned ! and afterwards
sold for the same sum to Mr. Wood of Littleton, in whose
possession it still remains.
