No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Size: Sheet 40 x 37 cm. Condition: Excellent impression on thick wove paper. This print was engraved by Thomas Cook in about 1800, after an original print by William Hogarth. It is the same size as the original print and a close copy in most details. This particular print was issued in 1837 by the publishers Baldwin Cradock & Joy. The original print was engraved by Hogarth early in his career, c1725, and the plate was sold to the publisher Henry Overton. Some prints from that plate exist, but they are extremely rare - although an illustration for Don Quixote, it was never published as such. The copper plate is no longer in existence. Thomas Cook's version is the one which was published in collections of Hogarth's works in the early 19th century. The lettering on Hogarth's original work explains the picture - "Sancho at the magnificent feast prepared for him at his government of Barataria, is starved in the midst of plenty, Pedro Rezzio his physician, out of great care for his health, ordering every dish from the table before the governor tastes it" For more detail see the commentary of the print in Paulson, Hogarth's Graphic Works, 1989 pages 66-67 A very good original antique print.

No Binding. Condition: 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. Condition: Very Good. Size: Mount 66 x 55.5 cm, print inside mount 55 x 43.5 cm (22 x 17 inches approx) Condition: Print in excellent condition except for 3 small stains (wax?) bottom left - see images. This print was engraved by Thomas Cook in c1803, after 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. This impression is on wove paper, and was published by G & J Robinson in 1803. THis copy may well be from Hogarth Restored, 1806 (see below). 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 1795?1803, 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. This is an original print from the copper plate engraving, not a reproduction or later print, and it is probably from the 1806 edition of Hogarth Restored.

Engraving, and etching. Image measures 13 3/8 x 15 7/8". Sheet measures 16 1/4 x 21". Often referred to as the French and Indian War (1756-1763), the otherwise known Seven Years War reignited British concerns of a French invasion, as well as a culturally-ingrained anti-French feeling among the populace. With his usual skill for satirical detail, Hogarth allows us to gain the British perspective of a war so often only considered an American conflict. This print and its companion piece "England" illustrate the stark contrasts between the French and their significantly better-off adversaries, the English. For example, one of the most prominent threats that France represented was religious, as well as political, in the form of Catholicism and its implications of superstition, inquisition, and tyranny. Therefore, Hogarth portrays a monk as a leader of the invasion, preparing a boat filled with various torture devices. Hogarth also plays upon the perceived physical differences between France and Britain. In France, most of the inhabitants are emaciated and forced to roast frogs for food while in Britain, the people are stout from a steady diet of beer and roast beef. This print is additionally fascinating because it serves as an early example of the comedic connection between France and frogs. This particular print was published in the 1798 edition of "Hogarth Restored: The Whole Works of the celebrated William Hogarth" by G. C. & J. Robinson. The plates of this edition were engraved after Hogarth's plates by Thomas Cook and thus, this is usually referred to as the Cook edition. The original plate by Hogarth is part of a set entitled "The Invasion," first published in 1756, of which this is the first plate. The print is in good condition with some scuffs to the margin. William Hogarth (1697-1764) is considered by many scholars and print enthusiasts as the grandfather of English graphic satire, but he was also an accomplished oil painter, portraitist, engraver, and draughtsman. Hogarth mastered the art of depicting human nature and all of its hypocrisies in society with graphic satire. The universality of his humor and the all-too-human characters featured in his works make Hogarth's satires remarkable. This print represents the epitome of Hogarth's skills as an artist and as a conscientious observer of humanity.

Copia de Thomas Cook de un dibujo original de William Hogarth de la colección de Roger Palmer Medidas: 49 x 65'5 cm [papel], 46 x 56'5 cm [plancha]. Descripción: Incluye en la parte inferior del papel el título en grande, la firma de los artistas ( Hogarth pinx., T. Cook fc. ) y la fecha de la primera edición ( Published by Thomas Cook. Engraver & Printer. Nº 11 Hay Market October 21st 1805 ). Representa una escena en una gran sala repleta de personas disfrazadas o con máscaras saludándose, con un grupo jugando a las cartas junto a una chimenea, según un cuadro de Hogarth. Biografía del autor: William Hogarth (Londres, 1697-1764) fue un pintor y grabador inglés. A partir de 1720 comenzó a trabajar en Londres como grabador, oficio en el que se había formado y que compaginó con la asistencia a clases de pintura en la Saint Martin's Lane Academy y en el estudio de sir James Thornhill, con cuya hija se casó en 1729. En los inicios de su actividad como pintor trabajó como retratista, con obras que en algunos casos alcanzaron un éxito considerable. Hombre extraordinariamente inquieto y muy descontento con la sociedad de su tiempo, decidió poner su arte al servicio de la sátira y la crítica social. Comenzó así la realización de series de telas sobre un mismo tema, que asimiló con representaciones teatrales, de modo que estableció un paralelismo entre cuadro y escenario, figuras y actores. La riqueza de detalles y matices psicológicos, así como la intensidad dramática y el acierto compositivo contribuyeron, sin duda, a la buena aceptación de estas obras, que constituyen un punzante retrato de la sociedad inglesa de la época. A partir de 1735 dirigió una academia de pintura que fue la precursora de la Royal Academy. Referencias: Cat. 6698.
