The prints are from the original copper plate engraved in c1726 by Hogarth. Prints like these from the original copper plates by Hogarth are rare and usually very good impressions. This is because Hogarth sold the plates, and they were not in the possession of his widow Jane or the publisher John Boydell, who issued most of the Hogarth prints in the 18th century. Boydell and Baldwin Cradock \u0026amp; Joy, who published Hogarth's works from 1822, used copies made by Thomas Cook, until about 1840, when it appears that Hogarth's original plates were acquired and began to be printed again. Tagged \"The modern Quixote\" when it was published in 1662, the poem was very popular. Hudibras is an anti hero rather less sympathetic than Quixote. Butler's poem was written from a Royalist perspective and Hudibras is a parody of a Presbyterian. For more details and explanation, see Paulson, Hogarth's Graphic Works, 1989.
