Two volume set dated 1812 in their original leather-bound state. Vol.2's contents are in reasonably good condition, the second half of which is good, though with areas of foxing and damp-staining affecting the earlier portions, covers cracked and detached, corners bumped; Vol.1 is in better condition, with rear end-paper intact, contents in reasonably good condition (though foxed and with areas of damp-staining), boards in very worn state, half-title and title page heavily stained, f.f.e-p missing. All engravings are present, though many are affected by the staining. Can be described as a 'reading copies' only. 'William Hogarth (10 November 1697 – 26 October 1764) was an English painter, printmaker, pictorial satirist, social critic and editorial cartoonist who has been credited with pioneering western sequential art. His work ranged from realistic portraiture to comic strip-like series of pictures called "modern moral subjects". Knowledge of his work is so pervasive that satirical political illustrations in this style are often referred to as "Hogarthian."'[source:wikipedia]
