This strong, large folio engraving is from The Works of William Hogarth, from the Original Plates Restored by John Heath…. The work was published in London by Baldwin, Cradock, and Joy circa 1822 (paper with watermark '1820'.). Each engraving has dark impressions and is on thick, wove paper.
Overall in good condition. There is some smudging or imperfections mostly to the margins and from handling. There may be a few minor imperfections to be expected with age. Please review the image.
Sheet size: 48,5x63,5 cm.
William Hogarth (1697-1764) apprenticed with a silver engraver at the start of his career. He soon turned to the art of engraving plates for print and book publishing. By 1730, Hogarth had set up his own publishing business and thus took control of his own work. His influence is immeasurable, as he used his art to try and bring social reform and depicted moral issues of his time. This helped him establish satirical engraving as a true art form.
Eventually Hogarth’s engravings were in the possession of Baldwin, Cradock, and Joy who employed engrave James Heath to strengthen of the few of the lines, and then published this work circa 1822. This Heath edition was the last to use his original engravings.
