William Hogarth - Original 1735 Engraving. Laid on card. Invented, Painted and Engraved by William Hogarth. Plate 1 of Hogarth's Rake's Progress paintings. In this first scene, Tom has come into his fortune on the death of his miserly father. While the servants mourn, he is measured for new clothes. Although he has had a common-law marriage with her, he now rejects the hand of his pregnant fiancée, Sarah Young, whom he had promised to marry (she holds his ring and her mother holds his love letters). Signed in plate. On wove. There is a worm hole in central lower edge and some losses to the upper corners which have been filled in with pencil. Trimmed inside plate.
