On canvas, 1 ft. 9 J in. h. by 2 ft. 5 J in. to. Painted in 1847. Vebnon Collection. • " Globe" newspaper. it zed by G00gle 56 HOGAETH. KOGABTH (William) Was born Deo. 10, 1697, in the parish of St. Bartholomew, London. His father, a native of Westmoreland, and originally a schoolmaster,, was employed in London us a corrector of the press; he spelt his name Hogart. Hogarth was apprenticed at an early age to Mr. Ellis Gamble, who kept a silversmith's shop in Cranbourn Alley ; and he was bred an ...engraver of crests and ciphers on silver and other metal plates. This occupation, how- ever, does not appear to have suited his taste, and at the expiration ' of his apprenticeship, in 1718, he turned his attention to en- graving on copper for booksellers. His earliest known print is his own shop-bill, which is dated 1720 ; but the first of his prints which attracted public notice are twelve small illustrations to Butler's Hudibras, published in 1726 : they were copied for Gray's Hudibras, in 1744, and for Townley's French Translation, which was published in London in 1757.
