[London] (near Serjeants Inn, Fleet Street) : Robert Sayer

1 print : line engraving with etching ; platemark 27.9 x 18.8 cm

Anger. The effects of anger show its nature. The eyes become red & enflamed; ... As this print bears the number 18 and the identical plate in the Sayer folio at the Wellcome Institute bears the number 19, we may infer either that page 18 (containing a brief description of Le Brun's theory of the passions) was omitted from later volumes of the same folio, or that copies of the prints were published as a series, again without the text Lettering continues: "ye eye-ball is staring & sparkling; the eye-brows are sometimes elevated, & sometimes sunk down equally; the forehead is very much wrinkled, with wrinkles between the eyes; the nostrils are open and enlarged; ye lips pressing against one another; the under one rising over the upper one, leaves the corners of the mouth a little open, making a cruel & disdainfull grin" Bears number: 18
