1822247303London: Baldwin Cradock and Joy 1822. Engraving. Image measures 12.5 x 15 1/8". Sheet measures 17.5 x 23".<br/><br/> 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. 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.<br/><br/> Baldwin, Cradock and Joy unknown books

1822247284London: Baldwin Cradock and Joy 1822. Engraving. Image measures 16.5 x 21.5". Sheet measures 18 x 23.5".<br/><br/> 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.

7129The complete suite of six prints with the image of each measuring approximately 12" x 15". Engraved titles and publication credit appears below each image within the plate lines. This suite of prints is from the 1821 restrike by Thomas Cooke. The dire consequences of moral laxity a recurrent theme in Hogarth's work are presented in this tragic tale of an innocent country girl's sojourn to the city. In these six plates Hogarth tracks Mary Hackabout's desperate plight from her arrival in the city into the hands of the notorious procuress Mother Needham to her transformation into a kept mistress street moll prisoner and disease-ridden invalid to her inevitable death from syphilis. Each engraving has been professionally cleaned deacidified and matted in acid-free materials ready for framing. These images are clean clear and bright and will provide hours of pleasurable study of Hogarth's observations and satiric commentary of eighteenth century English society at about one-third of the cost of the original impressions of 1735.
