Completed in 1736, they were reproduced as a series of four engravings published in 1738. They are humorous depictions of life in the streets of London, the vagaries of fashion, and the interactions between the rich and poor.

Harlot (poetry) poem, "Heart", "Folie à Deux", "Ménage à Trois", "Bad Friday", and "Tryptych", which originally appeared in "Coconut Eight".

Harlot (poetry) Harlot is the 2007 poetry anthology by Jill Alexander Essbaum. It was published by No Tell
