HOGARTH, WILLIAM - COMMENTARY BY JOHN NICHOLS AND GEORGE STEEVENS

The Genuine Works of William Hogarth; Illustrated with Biographical Anecdotes, a Chronological Catalogue, and Commentary. Volume II. (VL II Only)

London, Longman, Hurst, Rees and Orme. 1810. Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, 1810, Good Condition: See Notes, Hardcover Half-Leather Boards, 4to, Marbled-Edged Pages,444pp + 93 B/W Full-Page Plates NOTES ON CONDITION Boards Scuffed & Worn: See Photo Title-Page & 1st 4 Pages Creased Tight in Book BlocK Contents Clean Browning to Index at the Rear This illustrated volume of the catalogue of the works of painter and engraver William Hogarth (1697-1764) was the result of 'Hogarthomania', the enthusiasm for all his productions which arose soon after his death. The publisher and author John Nichols (1745-1826), assisted by the collector and literary critic George Steevens, published a life of Hogarth and a list of his works in 1781, and as disputes increasingly arose over the genuineness of some of the prints attributed to him, enlarged versions appeared in 1782 and 1785. This work, published between 1808 and 1817, is the last in the sequence of Nichols' works on Hogarth, and remains a useful source for art historians and anyone interested in the cultural life of the eighteenth century. Volume II contains a catalogue of his works, an appendix of anecdotes about some of Hogarth's subjects, and his essay The Analysis of Beauty. Good/Fair.

The Plays of William Shakespeare

London, T. Longman; B. Law and Son; C. Dilly; et al, 1793. Leather. The sought after Johnson-Steevens edition of the collected plays of Shakespeare, a nice set complete with illustrations, including folding plates. Complete in fifteen volumes.The fourth edition of this set. A sought after edition of the plays of Shakespeare, edited with extensive commentary by Samuel Johnson and George Steevens. Volume I is illustrated with three plates.Volume II is illustrated with four folding tables. Volume VIII is illustrated with one folding plate of Morris Dancers. Collated, complete.In 1765, Johnson and Steevens produced the first notable scholarly analysis of Shakespeare, and were pivotal in elevating the Bard's reputation to the heights it has occupied since. This work was a milestone in Shakespearean scholarship and still very highly regarded.Johnson held a lifelong fascination with Shakespeare, the bard being the most quoted author in his 'Dictionary of the English Language&apos. However, Johnson had only a slight hand in this work, the bulk falling to noted Shakespearean commentator George Steevens. This 1793 edition is considered to be the best, being revised and expanded by Steevens, and was the last edition to involve him directly.Armorial bookplate to the front paste downs.
