Moll is now dying of syphilis. Dr. Richard Rock on the left and Dr. Jean Misaubin on the right argue over their medical methods, which appear to be a choice of bleeding (Rock) and cupping (Misaubin). A woman, possibly Moll's bawd and possibly the landlady, rifles Moll's possessions for what she wishes to take away while Moll's maid tries to stop the looting and arguing. Moll's son sits by the fire, possibly addled by his mother's venereal disease. Copper engraving. Hand coloured. Size: 41 x 36 cm (16 x 14 inches). Good condition.

Hogarth's 12 prints illustrating Samuel Butler's poem Hudibras, were among his favourite works. The work is a satirical polemic upon Roundheads, Puritans, Presbyterians and many of the other factions involved in the English Civil War. The work was written in three parts in 1663, 1664 and 1678 although an unauthorised edition came out in 1662. Although a little more obscure than some of his works, they represent an important stage in his development; Butler's comic narrative was the perfect subject for Hogarth to develop his gift for social satire. Twelve prints are on seven sheets - two prints on each sheet, except for plates eleven and twelve which each have their own sheet. Copper engraving. Uncoloured. Size: 36 x 54 cm (14 x 21½ inches). Very good condition, generally. Sheets 3 & 4 containing plates 5 to 8 are trimmed along the lower edge, shaving the lowest line of the text. Sheets 3, 4, and 6 are lightly damp-stained.…

This progress, Hogarth's last, is based on the disorderly, riotous Oxfordshire election of 1754 in which the Duke of Marlborough, a Whig ("the New Interest"), challenged the entrenched Tories ("the Old Interest") in the established stronghold of the latter party. Aimed at the upper middle and upper classes, this series shows the cynicism of the aristocratic class toward electoral politics and delineates their attempted manipulation of the populace. It depicts politicians of both parties using slogans, flattery, bribery, alcohol, food and trinkets to expoit the population in the interests of their own undemocratic ambitions. It exposes both parties as exciting the most degrading proclivities of the least able sections of the electorate (the poor, the simpleminded, the maimed, the dying) to produce a violence and an anarchy that ultimately envelops all and threatens the very ambitions they sought to satisfy. Together, 4 plates. Copper engraving. Uncoloured. Size: 400 x 530 mm. Narrow margins, missing titles, in good condition.…
