AUTHENTIC 1822 EDITION WM HOGARTH PRINT "MOON INHABITANTS" & "MASQUERADE TICKET"

Description: Rare Antique Late 18th Century Engraving by William Hogarth Printed in 1822 Some Principal Inhabitants of ye Moon: Royalty, Episcopacy and Law This iconoclastic emblem, executed in a surrealistic style, is a daring attack upon the English ruling class from a middle-class point of view. Playing on the worldly operations of these celestial (and lunar) figures, it depicts kings, bishops and lawyers as empty, mechanical forms having the power to manipulate but being composed only of the symbols with which they are decorated. Image Size: 9 1/2" x 7" Masquerade Ticket Satire in the form of a mock admission ticket; a masquerade consisting of debauched looking characters in costume Image Size: 7 1/2" x 10" Sheet Size: 19 1/2" x 25" These pages were removed from an original 1822 publication. I have the Title Page shown above, framed and matted which will be available later. A copy of this image will be included with each sale.
