No Binding. Condizione: Collectible-Very Good. Two original black-and-white engravings on one leaf of white paper, Hudibras Vanquish'd by Trussa (Plate 5) and Hudibras in Tribulation (Plate 6). This print is likely disbound from a publication. Leaf measures 16 1/2" x 22 1/2." Each printed area (plate) measures 13" x 9." The print is very clean and intact except for age toning, a few faint dampstains, and a small chip in the lower-right corner not affecting text. A Very Good copy. Two original engravings on one sheet of paper designed by William Hogarth and engraved by Thomas Cook. The following text credits the artists and is printed below each engraving: "Design'd by W. Hogarth" and "Engrav'd by T. Cook." Publisher's information printed in bottom margin: "London, Published by G. & J. Robinson, Pater noster Row, April 1st, 1802." These engravings are reproductions engraved by Cook and modeled after the original designs of Hogarth. William Hogarth (1697-1764) was an English printmaker, painter, satirist, cartoonist, and social critic. Thomas Cook (1744/45-1818) was an English printmaker. Cook is perhaps best-known for his reproductions of Hogarth's works, which were first compiled and published as Hogarth Restored in 1806. The subjects of these prints are scenes from Samuel Butler's satirical poem, Hudibras. The poem was published in three parts as The First Part (1663), The Second Part (1664), and The Third and Last Part (1678). The poem takes place during the final years of the Interregnum, about 1658-1660, and is about the titular Hudibras, a knight and colonel of the Parliamentary New Model Army, and his squire, Ralpho. Throughout the poem, Hudibras and Ralpho are comically defeated on a regular basis, often at the hands of witty or courageous women. Each engraving includes parts of the poem corresponding to the scene. These two scenes are from The First Part of the poem, in which Hudibras and Ralpho venture out on a chivalrous quest. After trying to stop a round of local bear-baiting, Hudibras and Ralpho are overtaken by the townspeople. Hudibras is summarily humiliated when the local prostitute, Trussa (or Trulla), defeats him, stands on top of him, and requests that Crowdero, the town fiddler, be released from prison and have his fiddle and instrument case returned to him. The top plate, Plate 5, shows Hudibras's defeat by Trussa. The scene also depicts Trussa's role as Hudibras's protector as she fends off angry villagers with various weapons. After subduing Hudibras, Trussa locks both him and Ralpho in the village stocks to await an imminent flogging. However, Plate 6 shows what happens next, a rich widow frees an embarrassed Hudibras and Ralpho but under one final humiliating stipulation, that Hudibras must flog himself afterward. Hudibras and Ralpho represent the hypocrisy and ignorance Butler saw in the English Puritan leaders of the seventeenth century while the townspeople, including Trussa and Crowdero, represent virtue and the interests of the public.…

No Binding. Condizione: Collectible-Very Good. Two original black-and-white engravings on one leaf of white paper, "The Committee" (Plate 9) and "Hudibras Triumphant" (Plate 10). This print is likely disbound from a publication. Leaf measures 16 1/2" x 22 1/2." Each printed area (plate) measures 13" x 9 1/4." The print is very clean and intact except for age toning, slight foxing, several dampstains (most of which are somewhat faint and only affect a small part of the printed area), and some edge wear. A Very Good copy. Two original engravings on one sheet of paper designed by William Hogarth and engraved by Thomas Cook. The following text credits the artists and is printed below each plate: "Design'd by W. Hogarth" and "Engrav'd by T. Cook." Publisher's information printed in bottom margin: "Published Octr. 1, 1802, by G. & J. Robinson, Pater-noster Row, London." These engravings are reproductions engraved by Cook and modeled after the original designs of Hogarth. William Hogarth (1697-1764) was an English printmaker, painter, satirist, cartoonist, and social critic. Thomas Cook (1744/45-1818) was an English printmaker. Cook is perhaps best-known for his reproductions of Hogarth's works, which were first compiled and published as Hogarth Restored in 1806. The subjects of these prints are scenes from Samuel Butler's satirical poem, Hudibras. The poem was published in three parts as The First Part (1663), The Second Part (1664), and The Third and Last Part (1678). The poem takes place during the final years of the Interregnum, about 1658-1660, and is about the titular Hudibras, a knight and colonel of the Parliamentary New Model Army, and his squire, Ralpho. The poem is a satire upon Puritan leaders of the English Civil Wars. Throughout the poem, Hudibras is comically defeated on a regular basis, often at the hands of witty or courageous women. Each engraving includes an accompanying part of the poem. "The Committee" (Plate 9) takes a brief hiatus from the narrative of Hudibras to satirize Oliver Cromwell and the Rump Parliament, which was formed from the "rump" (remnants) of the Long Parliament of 1640-1648. The Rump Parliament was installed as a way to depose King Charles I after the Long Parliament had chosen to restore Charles I and limit the power of the New Model Army commanded by Cromwell. The Rump Parliament was essentially controlled by the New Model Army to forward its agenda. The eponymous "Committee" in the print is a group of Puritan Saints who respond to the removal of King Charles I by mulling over unrealistic options to replace the monarch. A panic-stricken man then interrupts the committee to inform them of the Burning of the Rumps, an infamous celebration in which effigies of Rump Parliament members were hanged and burned. "Hudibras Triumphant" (Plate 10) returns to the story of Hudibras and illustrates the scene in which Crowdero, the town fiddler with a wooden leg, is taken by Hudibras and Ralpho to a bastille to be imprisoned in the stocks. Hudibras pulls the imprisoned Crowdero by a rope while Ralpho mockingly affixes Crowdero's fiddle and case atop the stocks "in manner of a Trophy." However, Hudibras and Ralpho get an ironic reckoning by the prostitute Trussa (Trulla) later in the poem, when she defeats Hudibras, requests that Hudibras free Crowdero, and throws the two in the stocks. Hudibras and Ralpho represent the hypocrisy and ignorance Butler saw in the English Puritan leaders of the seventeenth century while the townspeople, including Crowdero and Trussa, represent virtue and the interests of the public. …

No Binding. Condizione: Collectible-Very Good. Two original black-and-white engravings on one leaf of white paper, "Frontispiece and its Explanation" (Plate 1) and "Sr. Hudibras his passing worth, The manner how he sally'd forth" (Plate 2). This print is likely disbound from a publication. Leaf measures 16 3/4" x 22 1/2." Each printed area (plate) measures 13" x 9 1/4." The print is very clean and intact except for age toning, slight foxing, several dampstains (most of which are somewhat faint and only affect a small part of the printed area), and some chipping on left and right edges not affecting text or printed areas. A Very Good copy. Two original engravings on one sheet of paper designed by William Hogarth and engraved by Thomas Cook. The following text credits the artists and is printed below Plate 1: "Design'd by W. Hogarth" and "Engrav'd by T. Cook." Credits below Plate 2 are almost identical with a small change to the word, "Engrav'd": "Design'd by W. Hogarth" and "Engraved by T. Cook." Publisher's information printed in bottom margin: "Published December 1st, 1801 by G. & J. Robinson, Paternoster Row, London."

The poem is a satire upon Puritan leaders of the English Civil Wars. Throughout the poem, Hudibras is comically defeated on a regular basis, often at the hands of witty or courageous women. Each engraving includes an accompanying caption or part of the poem. These two scenes follow the content of the poem and are allegorical in nature. The "Frontispiece" (Plate 1) shows "Butler's Genius" in a flying chariot dragging Hudibras and Ralpho, who represent Hypocrisy and Ignorance, behind it. "Hudibras his passing worth" (Plate 2) depicts the beginning of the poem as Hudibras and Ralpho "sally forth" on their knightly quest. As noted in the frontispiece, Hudibras and Ralpho represent the hypocrisy and ignorance Butler saw in the English Puritan leaders of the seventeenth century. Contrasting the duo are the townspeople, who are often shown in a better light and represent virtue and the interests of the public.…
