HOGARTH, William (1697-1764)

Hogarth Restored. The Whole Works ... now re-engraved by Thomas Cook. London: John Stockdale, John Walker and G. Robinson, 1812.

‘One of the most splendid of Regency colour books’ (Abbey). ‘A valuable collection, as many of Hogarth’s prints were of great rarity, and had not been made public before’ (ODNB). It contains Hogarth's works, including his celebrated series 'A Harlot's Progress', 'A Rake's Progress', and 'Marriage à la Mode', and influential prints such as Gin Lane. For Cook's 1802 edition containing 91 plates, cf. Brunet III, 250; Lowndes p. 1081. Abbey Life 204; Bobins IV, 1342.



Folio (564 x 418mm). Engraved portrait frontispiece and 107 (of 109) engraved plates, coloured by a contemporary hand, on 92 sheets (lacking untitled plates ‘Before’ and ‘After’ [nos. 53 and 54 in Abbey], one folding plate with short repaired tear, caption just shaved on one or two plates, a little spotting on text leaves). 19th-century half red morocco, gilt spine, marbled sides and edges (rubbed). Provenance: Albert Cay, gift inscription from his aunt, Barbara Liddell, 16 Feb. 1842 — Malacrida (armorial bookplate).
