Characters and Caricaturas Hogarth Print
ra
Characters and Caricaturas is an engraving by English artist William Hogarth, that he produced as the subscription ticket for his 1743 series of prints, Marriage à-la-mode, and which was eventually issued as a print in its own right. Critics had sometimes dismissed the exaggerated features of Hogarth's characters as caricature and, by way of an answer, he produced this picture filled with characterisations accompanied by a simple illustration of the difference between characterisation and caricature.
This print came out of an Antique book and is gauranteed to be over 100 Years old.
The picture measures 20cm/ 20.5cm It does have some foxing but adds to the charm.
On the top on the left corner there is a tear. This does not effect the picture.
