Excellent Choice,

This review is from: The Spectacle of Difference: Graphic Satire in the Age of Hogarth (Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in Britis) (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book on English history and the print trade during Hogarth's era-early to mid 1700s. The best of Hogarth's oeuvre such as "A Harlot's Progress" is amply represented in detailed reproductions which are discussed at length in the text. Other printmakers such as George Bickham who were contemporaries of Hogarth but were overshadowed by this master satirist are represented and discussed as well. The text is organized, clear and not filled with convoluted language. The author does a great job of "unlocking" the details and relevance of each print's story. This is a very well thought out book with many wonderful black and white intaglio reproductions. Because each represented artist fills his compositions with dense constellations of various lines, textures and shapes, the reader will not miss the absence of color.
