ANTIQUE ENGLISH ENGRAVING AFTER WILLIAM HOGARTH
An antique engraving with a chisel, etching, on paper, Night in London, a sheet number four from the series, The Four Times of the Day. Circa: early 19th century after the original, 1730, by William Hogarth, British, 1697 to 1764 and engraved by Thomas Cook in 1797. Titled in the plate lower to the center. Inscribed in the plate lower left. Framed. William Hogarth was an English painter, printmaker, pictorial satirist, social critic, and editorial cartoonist. His work ranges from realistic portraiture to comic strip like series of pictures called modern moral subjects, and he is perhaps best known for his series A Harlots Progress, A Rakes Progress and Marriage A la Mode. Knowledge of his work is so pervasive that satirical political illustrations in this style are often referred to as Hogarthian. Antique and Vintage Graphic Art Prints and Collectibles.
