The publisher and author John Nichols (1745–1826), assisted by the collector and literary critic George Steevens, published a life of Hogarth and a list of his works in 1781, and as disputes increasingly arose over the genuineness of some of the prints attributed to him, enlarged versions appeared in 1782 and 1785. This work, published between 1808 and 1817, is the last in the sequence of Nichols' works on Hogarth, and remains a useful source for art historians and anyone interested in the cultural life of the eighteenth century. Volume 3, published seven years after Volume 2, contains further plates, critical essays, and a 'key' to the scenes in Hogarth's prints allegedly derived from classical sources.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAdvertisement\u003cbr\u003e Biographical memoir\u003cbr\u003e Character of Hogarth\u003cbr\u003e Clavis Hogarthiana\u003cbr\u003e Essay on the genius and character of Hogarth\u003cbr\u003e Accounts of paintings and plates\u003cbr\u003e Additional chronological catalogue\u003cbr\u003e Additions and corrections to volumes 1-3\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: The arts: general issues [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on The arts: general issues\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22The%20arts:%20general%20issues%20%5BAB%5D%22\"\u003eAB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46005013217560,"sku":"9781108075022","price":39.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108075022i_88106d42-efaa-4b88-9d8e-d6b0a5245dfc.jpg?v=1696751529","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-genuine-works-of-william-hogarth-illustrated-with-biographical-anecdotes-a-chronological-catalogue-and-commentary-paperback-9781108075022","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
