Tavola tratta dal celebre The Musical Entertainer, stampato a Londra da Charles Corbett, [1737-1739 o dopo]. Bickham è principalmente conosciuto per quest'opera incisa, pubblicata per la prima volta in parti quindicinali, ciascuna con quattro tavole, tra il gennaio 1737 e il dicembre 1739. Una seconda edizione fu anche pubblicata in parti tra il 1740 e il 1741, e una terza, stampata dalle tavole originali, fu pubblicata da John Ryall nel 1765. Le 200 tavole sono canzoni di Purcell, Handel, Haydn, Corelli, Pepusch e altri, ognuna con una vignetta incisa, e a parte il loro interesse musicale, forniscono una visione affascinante della vita sociale del tempo. Otto dei disegni sono di Gravelot, e secondo l'opinione di Ray molti altri sono stati imitati dall'opera di Watteau, il che lo porta a dire che il canzoniere "può quasi essere considerato francese". George Bickham il Giovane era incisore, editore, tipografo e uno dei primi caricaturisti inglesi. Ha prodotto pubblicazioni didattiche, caricature politiche e stampe pornografiche. Era il figlio dell'incisore George Bickham il Vecchio, che pubblicò la Universal Penman. Acquaforte, stampata su carta vergata coeva, con margini, in ottimo stato di conservazione.

London: Smith, Elder & Co; Cohen-de Ricci 145-146; Ray, French Illustrated Book, 12 Plate taken from The Musical Entertainer. London: Charles Corbett, [1737-1739 or later]. Bickham was principally known for this engraved work, first issued in fortnightly parts, each with four plates, between January 1737 and December 1739. A second edition was also brought out in parts 1740-41, and a third, printed from the original plates, was issued by John Ryall in 1765. The 200 plates are songs by Purcell, Handel, Haydn, Corelli, Pepusch and others, each headed with an engraved vignette, and quite apart from their musical interest they provide fascinating insight into the social life of the time. Eight of the designs are after Gravelot, and in Ray's opinion many others were imitated from Watteau's Oeuvre, leading him to say the song book "may almost be regarded as French." George Bickham the Younger (c. 1706–1771) was an English etcher and engraver, a printseller, and one of the first English caricaturists. He produced didactic publications, political caricatures, and pornographical prints. He was the son of the engraver George Bickham the Elder (1684–1758), who published the Universal Penman (1733–41). Etching, printed on contemporary laid paper, with margins, perfect condition. Bibliografia Stephen, Leslie, ed. (1886). "Bickham, George (d.1758)". Dictionary of National Biography. Vol. 5. London: Smith, Elder & Co; Cohen-de Ricci 145-146; Ray, French Illustrated Book, 12.
249 pages. "I have a passion: unlimited health. In order to reduce this dream, I went to medical school. For many years, I was convinced that I was on the right track. Reality, however, was something else altogether. Thoughts, emotions and feelings, these invisible and untouchable antagonists invariably frustrated me in my scientific work. I then turned to alternative medicines and natural therapies, which offered other solutions for overall health. I set out in search of them to many countries and discovered the benefits they had to offer. But people continue to suffer and die all the same. Why? Why is our state of health constantly deteriorating? Why does our medical system cost so much? Why is it maintained when everyone is so dissatisfied with it? Whom does it profit? Not knowing where to go next, I turned inward. Unlimited health was waiting for me there!" - Author. Distributor's stamp upon half-title page else clean, bright and unmarked with light wear.
