<p>[QUOTE="Mill Cove Treasures, post: 436024, member: 60"][ATTACH=full]152993[/ATTACH] I would appreciate the research expertise from some of the internet search gurus here. While doing research I did find some information of this artist and these images. However, I could not find anything about reprints. Perhaps these are old and were framed in more modern frames. I found other prints in the exact same frames and that is the reason I thought these might be later reprints. I found a reference to a set sold at auction in 1902 but no other details.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=WRgwAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA191&lpg=PA191&dq=The+wanton+Trick+P.+Tomkins&source=bl&ots=dxNpxdL9hP&sig=iw56RF2YrNNlYjQGFncUN128XBo&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwil48Gf-InfAhUvUt8KHXtqCckQ6AEwBnoECAgQAQ#v=onepage&q=The%20wanton%20Trick%20P.%20Tomkins&f=false" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://books.google.com/books?id=WRgwAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA191&lpg=PA191&dq=The+wanton+Trick+P.+Tomkins&source=bl&ots=dxNpxdL9hP&sig=iw56RF2YrNNlYjQGFncUN128XBo&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwil48Gf-InfAhUvUt8KHXtqCckQ6AEwBnoECAgQAQ#v=onepage&q=The%20wanton%20Trick%20P.%20Tomkins&f=false" rel="nofollow">https://books.google.com/books?id=WRgwAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA191&lpg=PA191&dq=The+wanton+Trick+P.+Tomkins&source=bl&ots=dxNpxdL9hP&sig=iw56RF2YrNNlYjQGFncUN128XBo&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwil48Gf-InfAhUvUt8KHXtqCckQ6AEwBnoECAgQAQ#v=onepage&q=The wanton Trick P.
