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).

Back page reads "First Edition". Poet, editor, and translator Ron Padgett was born in 1942 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As a high-school student he founded the avant-garde literary journal The White Dove Review with his friends and fellow students Joe Brainard and Dick Gallup. Soliciting and publishing work from poets such as Allen Ginsberg and Robert Creeley, the magazine ran for five issues. Padgett moved to New York City in 1960 to attend Columbia College. Awarded a Fulbright in 1965, Padgett spent a year in Paris studying and translating French poetry. He eventually made his home in New York City?s East Village and became a vital part of the Second Generation New York School Poets, a group that included Ted Berrigan, Brainard, and others. Padgett is the author of over 20 collections of poetry, including Great Balls of Fire (1969, reissued 1990); You Never Know (2001); How to Be Perfect (2007); How Long (2011), a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize; and Collected Poems (2013), winner of the L.A. Times Book Prize. He has collaborated with the poet Ted Berrigan and the artists Jim Dine and George Schneeman. Of Padgett?s work, poet David Lehman wrote in Poetry: "The great legacy of French Surrealist and Dadaist writing makes itself felt in his poems."Voice Literary Supplement contributor Karen Volkman, reviewing Padgett?s 1995 New and Selected Poems, commented: This is a fine sampling of a restless, hilarious, and haunting lyric intelligence, a ?phony? whose variable voices form a rare and raucous orchestration: the real thing.
