Taking its cue from the portfolio collections William Hogarth himself curated, this book gathers together a selection of his best loved and most inventive prints.
Hogarth’s pictures are among the most iconic of the eighteenth century – his cacophonous crowds, bustling streets, polite or not-so-polite companies, and all too revealing tales of human folly, vividly bring the world around him to life.
His work’s fame and popularity rests, above all, on its widespread circulation as prints, not only in England but around the globe, from the artist’s lifetime to today.
Alice Insley is Assistant Curator, Historic British Art, at Tate Britain..
It is in Print that he is often at his most creative and original, capturing, in his own words, ‘the perpetual fluctuations in the manners of the times’.
Having first trained as an engraver, printing remained an important aspect of his art and success.
