Description
"[The text] begins with a biographical-critical chapter which discusses Hogarth's position in the art world and public life of eighteenth-century England. It then explores the foreign influences on his art and the relationship of styles between his paintings and engravings. The commentary following this section explains in detail the story embodied in each print. ... Together with the three great cycles [of engravings], all of Hogarth's other engravings (conceived in groups or singly) are shown: vignettes, conversation pieces, dramatic episodes, polemical or personal satires, tailpieces, and even business cards."--From jacket flap.
