Hogarth Delin.t R.d Livesay Fecit
Publish'd Nov.r 27 1781 by R.d Livesay at Mrs Hogarths Leicester Fields.
Aquatint and etching, platemark 250 x 345mm (9¾ x 13½"). Small margins. Bit time stained.
In 1732 William Hogarth, with a group of friends including the artist Samuel Scott and lawyer and writer Ebenezer Forrest, undertook a five-day tour of the Thames and Medway estuaries. Forrest wrote an account of the trip and Hogarth and others made drawings to illustrate it (these are now in the British Museum). In 1781, after Hogarth's death, Richard Livesay engraved the plates and published them, together with Forrest's account, as 'Account of what seemed most remarkable in the five days' peregrination of … Tothall, Scott, Hogarth, Thornhill, and F.' (1782). The figures in this scene are all identified by a key- Hogarth, as in his well-known picture 'The Calais Gate', is crouched on the left, 'drawing this drawing'.
