Frontispiece of Fielding's 'The tragedy of tragedies' 

This engraving, created by William Hogarth, is the frontispiece to Henry Fielding’s satirical play, *The Tragedy of Tragedies, or, The Life and Death of Tom Thumb the Great*. The artwork depicts a dramatic scene, likely from the play itself, featuring two women, one holding a lit candle and the other holding a fan, and a small figure that appears to be a puppet or doll. Hogarth is known for his satirical works, and this engraving likely reflects the humorous and over-the-top nature of Fielding’s play.
