Summary

One of the most visible, popular, and significant artists of his generation, William Hogarth (1697-1764) is best known for his acerbic, strongly moralizing works, which were mass-produced and widely disseminated as prints during his lifetime. This volume is a fascinating look into the notorious English satirical artist's life, presenting 'Anecdotes of William Hogarth, Written by Himself' ; a collection of autobiographical vignettes supplemented with short texts and essays written by his contemporaries, first published in 1785
