Note 1 — CATALOGUE OF HOGARTH'S PRINTS.[1]
Reading edition
In The Craftsman of Nov. 25, 1732, we read, "This day is published, six prints in chiaro oscuro, of The Harlot's Progress, from the designs of Mr. Hogarth, in a beautiful green tint, by Mr. E. Kirkall, with proper explanations under each print. Printed and sold by E. Kirkall, in Dockwell-court, White-Fryars; Phil. Overton, in Fleet-street; H. Overton and J. Hoole, without Newgate; J. King, in the Poultry; and T. Glass, under the Royal Exchange."
Lest any of our readers should from hence suppose we have been guilty of an innacuracy in appropriating this set of prints to the year 1733, &c. it is necessary to observe, that the plates advertised as above, were only a pirated copy of Hogarth's work, and were published before their original.
