Senior Curator Margaret Lynne Ausfeld will deliver a brief overview of the history of printmaking in England in conjunction with the exhibition, Hail Britannia: English Prints of the 18th and 19th Centuries. Prior to the 18th century, artists on the Continent dominated printmaking in Europe, but after 1730 engravers such as William Hogarth and William Blake created works that brought new attention to English printmakers and publishers. After a short background presentation, we will study Hogarth’s A Harlot’s Progress (1732) and images by Blake from the Book of Job (1823–1825) on view in the Weil Graphic Arts Study Center.
