A most important aspect of this book, found in no other Hogarth edition, is the positioning of the editor's commentary on each plate on a facing page. With the incredible and sometimes overwhelming amount of detail and action going on in these engravings, this is a most helpful feature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486224794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.80h x 8.90w x 0.80d","brand":"William Hogarth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637665919132,"sku":"9780486224794","price":27.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_3a9ff9e9-d0d7-45ff-ac1c-8b5427f2eef0.jpg?v=1603845377","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/engravings-by-hogarth-9780486224794","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
