Beschreibung

Antique print, untitled. Tom Rakewell barely escapes arrest by jumping from his sedan chair. The bailiff is held back for a second by a girl (spilling her millinery wares on the ground), while a man filling the street lantern spills oil on Tom's head. We estimate this to be an earlier edition print by Riepenhausen, c. 1820. Etching/engraving on wove (vellin) paper. Made by 'Ernst Ludwig Riepenhausen' after 'William Hogarth'. Ernst Ludwig Riepenhausen (1765-1840) was well respected for his engravings after Hogarth, often preferred to those by Hogarth himself. William Hogarth (1697-1764) was an English painter, printmaker, social critic and cartoonist. Good, given age. Some scattered foxing in the margins. Remains of attachment to carrier in the top margin. General age-related toning and/or occasional minor defects from handling. Please study scan carefully. The overall size is ca. 38.2 x 23 cm. The image size is ca. 22.2 x 18.1 cm. The overall size is ca. 15 x 9.1 inch. The image size is ca. 8.7 x 7.1 inch. Storage location: A240-22. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 67500
