    First published 1789 in Edinburgh by the Scottish caricaturist and minaturist John Kay. This satire takes inspiration from a vibrant late-eighteenth century comic trope: commentaries on the stultifying reality of married life. The trope deviated from Hogarth's influential 'Marriage a-la-mode' series (1743-1745) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_%C3%A0-la-mode_(Hogarth) in so far as the couple were generally shown as happy prior to marriage. Eschewing 'before' and 'after' panels in favour of a charming interactive element, the picture is a fine example of both Kay's skill and his eye for profit.

    Portrait by John Kay after a painting by George Romney (1792) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Thomas_Paine.jpg. Kay retains the likeness of Paine if not the political message of the original (where he holds a manuscript copy of his 'Rights of Man'). Likely copied from William Sharp's engraving, Kay's inverted copy (suggestion he traced out his portrait from Sharp's engraving) attests to the desire to know what the infamous Paine looked like.
