4.The plates were bought by the publisher Baldwin, Cradock and Joy at the Boydell sale in 1818 "The Works of William Hogarth" as published by Baldwin, Cradock and Joy in 1822 with the original plates restored by James Heath, engraver to His Majesty.  The Heath edition was the last to print directly from Hogarth's original engraved plates. All 'Hogarth' prints appearing after this date are merely copies with either a recut plate or the 'engravers version'

5.** Thomas Cook engraved this after Hogarth, as illustrations in "Hogarth Restored. The Whole Works of the celebrated William Hogarth". Published in 1806. Printed on wove paper In good condition as per pics. The engravings were often re-aligned on the page differing from the earlier Boydell Folio. We  have a  selection of  these Thomas Cook engravings after William Hogarth's paintings.  These engravings were executed and published by Cook between 1796-1803. They are the same size as Hogarth's original engravings, but are not from Hogarth's plates. Thus, they are earlier engravings than the Heath edition, but they are Cook's interpretation of Hogarth's works all sulky people are rendered smiling which for those used to the earlier editions is  quite odd
