No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. Size: Sheet 32 x 48.5 cm, platemark (both prints) 21.5 x 38 cm, Frontispiece image 13.5 x 17.5 cm, Tailpiece image approx. 13 x 12 cm Condition: Very good condition, an excellent impression on wove paper In 1761 a group of artists, including Hogarth, set up as the Society of Artists and exhibited their paintings in Charing Cross, London. The group was set up in protest at the organisation of an exhibition the previous year by the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufacture and Commerce. Hogarth designed this frontispiece and tailpiece for the catalogue. The illustrations were originally engraved by Charles Grignion, but this print is from copper plates engraved (very close indeed to the originals) later, probably by Thomas Cook c1800. Both images are engraved on a single plate, unlike the originals. We believe that the original Grignion plates no longer exist, and this engraving was used as a substitute in early 19th century editions. This impression is from the 1835-1837 edition published in parts by Baldwin Cradock & Joy. The Hogarth designs are listed as 236 and 237 in Paulson's catalogue Hogarth's Graphic Works, 1989, where a full description and other details can be found.…

No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. Size: Print inside mount 55 x 44 cm (22 x 17 inches approx) Condition: Print in excellent condition, mount new. This print was engraved by Thomas Cook in c1803, after a painting which William Hogarth painted in 1728. The original painting is lost, but other versions painted by Hogarth are in the Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge and the National Portrait Gallery. Although the print was first published in 1803, this impression is slightly later, probably about 1822 from the collection of Hogarth's original works published by Baldwin Cradock and Joy. Thomas Bambridge was the Warden of the Fleet Prison in 1728, and following complaints about the state of the prison, a Committee of the House of Commons examined Bambridge at the Fleet prison several times. Subsequently Bambridge was tried and acquitted of the murder of one of the prison inmates. The full title of this print is "BAMBRIDGE ON TRIAL FOR MURDER BY A COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS|Engraved by T Cook from an Original Painting by Wm. Hogarth in the possession of Mr. Ray. Published June 1st. 1803, by G. & J. Robinson, Paternoster Row, London." The title is inaccurate however, because the painting actually shows the earlier examination of Bambridge at the prison,not his trial. Hogarth, only 31 years old and still at the start of his career in 1728, was deeply affected by the scandal of conditions at the Fleet prison, his own father having been an inmate there. His painting shows deep emotion which is captured admirably by Cook. On the left can be seen the figure of Bambridge, squirming while various dreadful instruments are demonstrated to the Committee. The painting is also clearly of great historical value for the portraiture of the Committee members. Thomas Cook was a remarkable engraver, best known for having copied the complete engraved work of Hogarth, to which he devoted the years 17951803, and which was published in 1806 under the title of Hogarth Restored. This is a very valuable collection, as many of Hogarth's prints were of great rarity, and had not been made public before.…

Size: 253 x 180mm. Some foxing to margins. Line engraving after a portrait by William Hogarth (1697-1764), originally engraved by James Basire (1730-1802). Morell is depicted half-length seated at a table, facing left, wearing a partly buttoned jacket, cravat and wide-brimmed hat. On the table are four books, sheets of paper (one with 'Aet. 60', the other with 'THESARUS') and an ink pot; Morell is about to use his right hand to write with a quill. He is seated on a chair, a curtain is draped from the top centre to behind the chair and in the top left corner are some organ pipes. From behind the curtain appears a coat of arms and below that a medal on a thread hangs from the wall. The letters after Morell's name refer to his Professorship of Sacred Theology and to being Secretary of the Society of Antiquaries. Hogarth's original drawing of 1762 is in the Horne Collection in Florence.…
