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), issued by the publisher Jones with descriptions and commentary by John Trusler and John Nichols for readers interested in English art and moral satire. The plates reproduce Hogarth's crowded interior and street scenes, with groups of figures in period dress gathered around tables, doorways and carriages, and a designer could take from them the dense, legible staging of many figures, the use of diagonal groupings, and the small comic gestures that carry narrative.
