Today's British print @britishmuseum from a large volume of Thomas Gray's poems with amazingly inventive illustrations designed by Robert Bentley, etched by Johann Sebastian Muller. This is "Ode on the Death of [Horace Walpole's] Favourite Cat, Drowned in a Tub of Gold Fishes".

Here's my British print of the day from @britishmuseum. Gillray's wonderful image of the state of the nation in 1795 - maybe a bit too topical. See Dorothy George's detailed account at https://t.co/SnabNlyAcR - and look at that wonderful aquatint!

It would be great to see some treasures from the collection - and maybe people would comment on them. https://t.co/BmGwvBml1Z

And another local connection - Sarah T's father was Joshua Kirby, a friend of William Hogarth who had a house in Chiswick (now open to the public). Hogarth encouraged the young JK and produced frontispieces for his books on perspective - check out the attached! https://t.co/alqtDypnYV
