€ 150/250
Nice complete set of “Harlot’s Progress” which tells the story of the fall and speedy destruction of
a girl who comes from the country to London to earn a livelihood. The work is primarily didactic.
The original paintings were destroyed in a fire. The original plates survived, and were sold by
Hogarth’s widow, Jane, to John Boydell in 1789; by him to Baldwin, Cradock and Joy in 1818;
and then to Henry Bohn in 1835. Each produced further copies. Our set is probably printed by
Cradock or Bohn.
