A woman swearing a child to a grave citizen. A pregnant young woman standing to right, swearing on a book before a magistrate who sits at a bench to left with a book labelled 'Law of Bastadry [sic]' in front of him, that the child is by an old man wearing a dark wig with a ruff hanging at his waist. This man meanwhile, raises his hands and eyes to heaven, protesting innocence, his wife, wearing a coif and bonnet shakes her fist, upbraiding him. The true father, a young man, crouches behind the woman, whispering counsel; beside the magistrate to left, a little girl sits teaching a dog to walk on its hind legs. After William Hogarth's (1697-1794) painting entitled "The Denunciation" c.1729 (National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin). Paulson in "Hogarth's Graphic Works" comments on Sympson's use of 'modern moral subjects', of which this is one. According to Paulson there is no sufficient proof to shoe that Hogarth employed Sympson, and thus is therefore more likely that Sympson undertook the job himself

Sigismunda. The original Picture in Oil by the late Mr. W.m Hogarth, and the Drawing from which this Print is made of the same size are both in the Collection of Mr. Sam.l Ireland, of Norfolk Street, who purchased them of Mrs. Hogarth in 1781. The Drawing wasmade by Mr. Edw.d Edwards, Assosiate of the Royal Academy & finsihed in April 1764 under the inspection of Mr. Hogarth, from whose pencil it received its last finishing touches about six months before his death. From this Drawing Mr. Basire the Engravr, began a Print but the death of Mr. Hogarth prevented its being finished.
Hogarth Pinx.t. Dunkarton Sculp.t.
London, Published Feb 1st 1793, by T.B. Freeman & Co. Strand, & Sold by Dickenson, New Bond Street, & Walker, Cornhill.
Mezzotint with large margins. Platemark: 395 x 375mm (15½ x 14¾").
An illustration of a dramatic scene from Giovanni Boccaccio’s celebrated medieval novel, 'The Decameron'. The heroine, Sigismunda, holds a goblet sent to her by her father, Prince Tancred. Inside, is the heart of her dead husband, Giuscardo, one of Tancred’s servants. He has murdered him, enraged by their unsuitable secret marriage. This was Hogarth’s most deliberate attempt to prove that modern English painters could handle heroic themes as convincingly as the revered Italian old masters. But the picture received such harsh criticism that he almost completely abandoned painting for the last years of his life. For an open letter proof impression, see item ref: 36640.

[n.d., c.1817]
Etching on blue paper. Plate 342 x 197mm. 13½ x 7¾". Scarce, laid on album sheet.
Copy of Hogarth's satire on William Kent's altarpiece at St Clement Danes; a group of five angels playing musical instruments; the dove of the Holy Ghost above, surrounded by seven heads of putti. William Kent's altarpiece was much criticised for Roman Catholic overtones, and was said to include a depiction of Princess Maria Clementina Sobieska, wife of the Old Pretender; in 1725 the Bishop of London ordered it to be removed. Like Hogarth's original print of 1725 it is printed on blue paper but is distinguished by more uniform text below the image (including a modern 's' at the end of the final 'Wings') and other small differences.

Caricature portrait of John Wilkes (1725 - 1797), holding a pole topped by the cap of Liberty.
