The Lampeter Founders' Library holds over 150 of the original engravings. Currently the majority are bound in two large volumes which require some conservation. Methods for this are under review at the time of writing.
The Prints are from various dates, from first issues to later copies published by enterprising publishers such as Boydell. All the main series, the 'Progresses' - 'The Rake's Progress', 'The Harlot's Progress', 'Marriage A La Mode ' , 'Industry and Idleness' (Two copies) 'Stages of Cruelty' - as they were called, are represented. There are engravings of his paintings by various hands, and some prints which are 'after Hogarth'. There is also a First Edition of his critical thesis on art, The Analysis of Beauty , as well as an elephant version of it, (with illustrations), and there is a very fine copy of Butler's Hudibras, with the Hogarth 'small' illustrations. We hope to build up an archive of his images with commentary and explication, so as to place his work in a cultural and historical context. In time we aim to provide a collection of 18th century images which others might use, and contribute to. Eventually, we hope to extend this site as general site for C18th studies in the visual and the cultural. This will begain by having an emphasis on graphic satire, but its subsequent direction will depend on research interests. We hope others will feel free to contribute ideas, notes, essays, research findings, germane material, images, etc.
The Images
(This is an on-going bibliography. Students over the years have helped to compile it, adding works on various aspects of C18th life they have found useful.) Suggestions are always welcome.
WRITINGS OF WILLIAM HOGARTH
The Analysis of Beauty (London, 1753) ed. Joseph Burke (Oxford, 1955). This includes the surviving manuscripts of the 'Analysis' and of the 'autobiographical notes' Hogarth wrote in the early 1760s (British Museum). (One illustrated first edition copy, and one text-only copy in the Founders' Library, Lampeter.)
Hogarth's 'Apology for Painters', ed. Michael Kitson in
Walpole Society XLI. (Oxford, 1968), pp. 46-111, prints the remainder
of the BM Hogarth MS., which contain more 'autobiographical notes', a great
work on the situation of the artist in the eighteenth century, and notes
towards continuation of Roquet's commentary on the engravings.
BIOGRAPHICAL and SECONDARY WORKS
Eighteenth Century
Vertue, George, Notebooks, pub. Walpole Society (Oxford, 1934, 1955) vols. XXII and xxx (Vertue III & VI).
Nichols, John, Biographical Anecdotes of William Hogarth, containing much contemporary material on Hogarth's life, was first published in 1781, and enlarged editions of 1782 and 1785. Nichols was assisted by George Steevens, Issac Reed and others. All of this material was still further expanded in three volumes as: Nichols, John, The Genuine Works of William Hogarth, in 1808, 1810, 1817.
Walpole, Horace, Anecdotes of Painting in England, based on Vertue's Notebooks, Vol. IV, 1781
Ireland, John, Hogarth Illustrated, 3 Vols. 1791, 1793, 1798, supplement, 1804.
Ireland, Samuel, Graphic Illustrations of Hogarth, 2 vols. 1794, 1799.
Note: Paulson identifies a 'main tradition of Hogarthian commentary' which, he argues, 'runs from Nichols and Steevens (accompanying their biographies), ending in J. B. Nichols' Anecdotes of William Hogarth ' (1833); to John Ireland's Graphic Illustrations. The above material is 'summed up, checked and corrected,and augmented in F. G. Stephens's excellent Catalogue of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum, II-IV (1873-83).
Roquet, Jean Andre, Letters de Monsieur * * A un de ses Amis A Paris pour expliquer les Etampes de Monsieur Hogarth (1746), to which was added a pamphlet on The March to Finchley, c. 1750. Paulson suggests the tradition of commentary on the paintings/engravings began with this work, sanctioned as it was by Hogarth.
Trusler, Revd. John Hogarth Moralised (1768). Trusler's explanations were still in use c.1841, when accompanied with an essay and notes by J. Major 1861.
Lichtenberg, G. C., AusfUrliche Erkl@rung der Hogarthischen Kupferstiche (5 Vols., 1749-99)
Paulson suggests these works have been translated uncritically by Innes and Gustav Herdan as The World of Hogarth, Lichtenberg's Commentaries on Hogarth's Engravings (Boston, 1966), and the analysis of Marriage a La Mode very carefully by A. S. Wensinger and W. B. Coley as Hogarth on High Life (Middleton, 1970).
