The works of William Hogarth : in a series of engravings : with descriptions, and a comment on their moral tendency
The Works of William Hogarth is an 1833 London collection of engravings after the painter William Hogarth (1697-1764), published by Jones with descriptions by John Trusler and John Nichols for general readers of art and moral satire. The plates are rotated on the page in this scan, and they show crowded eighteenth-century London scenes of street life, tavern gatherings and domestic interiors, with many figures arranged in tight diagonal groupings that a designer could study for staging a busy multi-figure composition.
