Hogarth's Works, with life and anecdotal descriptions of his pictures. Volume 3 (of 3)

by John Ireland; John Nichols

2. Large Masquerade Ticket. Vide Frontispiece and [p. 230.] In the earliest impressions, the word "Provocatives" has instead of V the open vowel U. It was afterwards amended, but the mark remains.

3. Frontispiece to Leveridge's Songs; no engraver's name. Mr. Molteno informs me he has seen an impression of this, with the sky partly erased, and a player's ticket engraved in the place. The title-page to this work is, I believe, also by Hogarth.

1728.

1. Head of Hesiod, from the bust at Wilton; for Cook's translation.

Rich's Glory, or his Triumphant Entry into Covent Garden. W. H. E^t SULP. Contemptible!

Of this there is a modern copy.

3. The Beggars' Opera. The title over the print in letters disproportionably large.

4. The same; the lines under it engraved in a different manner. "Sold at the print shop in the Strand," etc.

5. A copy of the same, under the title of "The Opera House, or the Italian Eunuchs' Glory," etc.
