Invented, Engraved and Published Decem.br y:e 15th 1736 by W.m Hogarth Persuivant to an Act of Parliament.
[Later impressions, 19th century.]
Pair of engravings, 410 x 335mm (16¼ x 13¼") Trimmed within plate and on card. Staining.
Hogarth's famous satire of the aggressively amorous advances of a nobleman on a chambermaid, followed by her begging him for more. As is typical of Hogarth, the scenes are crammed with visual references to the action, such as the 'before and after' pictures hanging on the walls, a book of poems by the scandalous Earl of Rochester and furniture in disarray in the latter.

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'.

Jenny Cameron.
Hogarth Pinxt.
Published as the Act directs by J. Clarke, No.291, Strand Febuary 8th. 1788.
A rare stipple. Plate 255 x 190mm (10 x 7½"), good margins.
Half-length portrait of a pretty young woman in low-cut dress and tartan shawl. The wife of Archibald Cameron of Lochiel (the last Jacobite to be executed, 1753), she came to London to try and stop his execution, gaining some sympathy, and was probably the 'Jenny Cameron' who visited the exiled Old Pretender in Rome and petitioned him for a pension in the late 1750s. She is often confused with Jenny Cameron of Glendessary (c.1700-72) who rumoured to have raised a troop of men in support of the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion, fighting with them, and being the mistress of the Young Pretender.

Mezzotint. 395 x 375mm (15½ x 14¾"), with wide margins.
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.

Satire on connoisseurs. Tailpiece to an exhibition held by the 'Society of Artists' at Spring Gardens, Charing Cross, in 1761. This exhibition was organised as artists, including Hogarth, withdrew from exhibiting at a space lent by the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufacture and Commerce on the Strand. Hogarth designed the frontispiece and tailpiece for the catalogue, which together predict increased royal patronage of the arts and the end patronage from connoisseurs. Royal patronage is represented as a plentiful reservoir in the frontispiece, while in this tailpiece a connoisseur dressed as a monkey, holding a magnifying glass, waters three withered and sapless sticks (all labelled with their dates of death, centuries ago) to show the poverty of patronage from connoisseurs. The labelling of the dead trees as 'exoticks' only emphasises the disillusionment of those connoisseurs.

In the 1715 rebellion, he supported the House of Hanover, but in 1745 he joined the Stuart claim on the crown of Scotland. When the Highlanders were defeated at Culloden Lovat was convicted of treason, and became the last man in Britain to be beheaded on Tower Hill. William Hogarth (1697 - 1764) drew this very popular portrait, of which many different prints were made after including this one , of Lovat at an inn in St. Albans on his way to trail and eventual execution.
