HOGARTH WilliamABAA

A Representation of the March of the Guards towards Scotland in the year 1745. To his Majesty the Kind of Prussia an Encourager of Arts and Sciences!

1822247284London: Baldwin Cradock and Joy 1822. Engraving. Image measures 16.5 x 21.5". Sheet measures 18 x 23.5". This print by William Hogarth represents a myriad of many Hogarthian characters which often straddle the line between humor and tragedy. In this scene English troops are shown marching northward into Scotland to quell uprisings by the Jacobites who were loyal supporters of the recently dethroned Stuart monarch James II. Here despite their dangerous mission the soldiers have become distracted by the bustling area of Tottenham Court Road. Some are accosted by ballad-sellers while others are forcibly intoxicated and one pair of soldiers steal kisses and milk from a young vendor. Only a young drummer boy remains in step despite the chaos. Originally an oil-painting in the Foundling Hospital a philanthropic home for orphaned children which was patronized by Hogarth this engraving was made as a means to raise funds for the hospital. The seemingly odd dedication to the King of Prussia is supposedly due the fact that the print was originally dedicated to George II who stated his displeasure at the portrayal of his army's campaign. Hogarth responded by dedicating the print instead to Frederick the Great. Originally engraved by Luke Sullivan in 1750 the image was "improved and retouched" by Hogarth in on June 1 1761. This plate was reissued in an 1822 publication "The Works of William Hogarth" by Baldwin Cradock and Joy London who purchased the original copper-plates in 1818 from the Boydell sale who had in turn bought the plates from Hogarth's widow. This edition is unique because these were the last prints to be made from the original plates and were restored by the royal engraver James Heath. 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. Baldwin, Cradock and Joy unknown books

England

1822247303London: Baldwin Cradock and Joy 1822. Engraving. Image measures 12.5 x 15 1/8". Sheet measures 17.5 x 23". 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 "France" illustrate the stark contrasts between the French and their significantly better-off adversaries the English. Here we glimpse at the patriotism of British citizens who are lining up to join the cause against France. This is in contrast to Hogarth's depiction of the poor hungry peasants who are chained and forced into the service across the channel. One man even stands on his tip-toes to meet the height requirements for the British army. A small crowd gathers around a caricature of King Louis XV who is made to curse the British for their naval victories. The robust nature of Hogarth's British people serves as an additional reminder of the superiority of Britain's constitutional monarchy and prosperity. This plate was reissued in an 1822 publication The Works of William Hogarth by Baldwin Cradock and Joy ho purchased the original copper-plates in 1818 from the Boydell sale who had in turn bought the plates from Hogarth's widow. This edition is unique because these were the last prints to be made from the original plates and were restored by the royal engraver James Heath. The print is in very good condition with deluxe margins. Minor wear to margins not affecting the image.

The Bruiser

1822247315London: Baldwin Cradock and Joy 1822. Engraving and etching. Image measures 14.5 x 10.75". Sheet measures 25 x 18.75". If this print is compared with Hogarth's self-portrait one can begin to grasp the vitriolic nature of politics during the 1780s. The main motivation for this print was revenge as the target of this satire had personally attacked not only close friends of Hogarth but also the great artist himself. To exact his revenge Hogarth presents the poet Charles Churchill as an inebriated bear who hoists a wooden club bearing references to the various articles Churchill wrote and edited which greatly criticized the Crown and its supporters. By the time that this print was published Hogarth had already made several satirical attacks on Churchill's accomplice John Wilkes for his continued criticisms of George III. Churchill responded by publishing a satirical poem entitled "An Epistle to William Hogarth"which mocked Hogarth's physical decline. Hogarth's most direct response to Churchill's satire is obvious by having his pug Trump urinate on a copy of Churchill's pamphlet. Hogarth goes further by suggesting that Churchill writes sedition only to pay his heavy financial debt as well as showing him as a debauched ex-clergyman since he had been ordained as a minister but was ordered to resign his position in 1762 because of his enthusiasm for drinking and philandering.
