Hogarth's Works, with life and anecdotal descriptions of his pictures. Volume 3 (of 3)
Ireland, John
Hogarth, William, 1697-1764
4. A Scene in Handel's opera of _Ptolomeo_. _Vide_ p. 184. There is a
copy of the same size.
5. Booth, Wilkes, and Cibber, contriving a Pantomime.
1726.
1. Frontispiece to _Terræ-filius_. _Vide_ p. 193.
2. Twenty-six Figures on two large sheets; engraved for a _Compendium
of Military Discipline_, by J. Blackwell. No engraver's name.
3. Twelve Prints for _Hudibras_--the large set. In Plate II (the
earliest impressions) the words, "Down with the Rumps," are not
inserted on the scroll. "Printed and sold by P. Overton, near St.
Dunstan's Church, in Fleet Street, and J. Cooper, in James Street,
Covent Garden."
Now printed for Sayer, Fleet Street.
A Print representing Hudibras and Sidrophel, and taken off in
colours, was in 1782 engraved by T. Gaugain.
3. Seventeen Small Prints for _Hudibras_, with Butler's head.
The portrait is evidently copied from White's mezzotinto of John
Baptist Monnoyer. The same designs on a large scale, with some
slight variations, were engraved by J. Mynde for Grey's edition of
_Hudibras_, published in 1724. Hogarth has evidently taken the hints
for his figures, grouping, etc., from a small edition of this poem
published in 1710.
Copies are inserted in Townley's translation of _Hudibras_ into
French, published in 1757.
Many of them were copied by Ross, with violent alterations, for Dr.
Nashe's splendid edition of _Hudibras_, published in 1795.
4. Cunicularii, or the Wise Men of Godliman in Consultation. A
burlesque on the Believers in Mrs. Tofts, the rabbit-breeder.
1727.
1. Music introduced to Apollo by Minerva; Hogarth, _fecit_.
Frontispiece to some book of music, or ticket for a concert.
2. Large Masquerade Ticket. _Vide_ Frontispiece and p. 230. In the
earliest impressions, the word "Provocatives" has instead of V the
open vowel U. It was afterwards amended, but the mark remains.
3. Frontispiece to _Leveridge's Songs_; no engraver's name. Mr.
Molteno informs me he has seen an impression of this, with the sky
partly erased, and a player's ticket engraved in the place. The
title-page to this work is, I believe, also by Hogarth.
1728.
1. Head of Hesiod, from the bust at Wilton; for Cook's translation.
Rich's Glory, or his Triumphant Entry into Covent Garden. W. H. E^t
SULP. Contemptible!
Of this there is a modern copy.
3. The Beggars' Opera. The title over the print in letters
disproportionably large.
4. The same; the lines under it engraved in a different manner. "Sold
at the print shop in the Strand," etc.
5. A copy of the same, under the title of "The Opera House, or the
Italian Eunuchs' Glory," etc.
1729.
1. Henry Eighth and Anne Bullen; with lines by Allan Ramsay,
beginning--
"Here struts old pious Harry, once the Great."
2. The same plate without any verses.
There is a coarse copy, I think engraved on pewter.
The original picture was painted for the portico at Vauxhall.
3. Frontispiece to Miller's _Comedy of the Humours of Oxford_;
engraved by Vandergucht.
1730.
