1794 1st ed William Hogarth ART Samuel Ireland Engravings English Satire 2v



William Hogarth was one of the most famous English artists of the 18th-century and his satirical cartoons appeared in comic-strips and other printed works for decades. His most famous works were short series of sketches that told moral stories through the lens of political satire – A Harlots Progress, A Rakes Progress, and Marriage.



Samuel Ireland, an English engraver, etched many of his engravings after the art of Hogarth. These 57 engravings were published in the 1794 “Graphic Illustrations of Hogarth” – a collection of Irelands engravings of Hogarths art. In 1799, a second volume was published which contained an additional 49 engravings! Both volumes appear here – a beautiful lot!
