Worldwide shipping for this object is complimentary - There are no additional charges for handling & delivery. This well know subject was originally created by the famous British artist William Hogarth and then reproduced over time by many contemporary artists as prints of various formats and as paintings. Here we have a rendition engraved by William Dent, who was active from 1783 to 1793 and signed his work in the plate bottom right. I think this impression would date to the late 18th or then to the very early 19th Century. I was told, that these small prints, served as entry tickets to cock fights in Georgian England. So this example is quite a rare find as they would normally the would be cut to size and discarded after use. I am Adrian Stuart Grond trading as ASGrond - Art & Antiques.
