Originally published in October 1736, Hogarth here republished the print in 1762, adding elements such as two warts on the reader's face and cracks in the wall on which the angel is painted. (metmuseum.org), matted and framed. Frame size: 16 1/2 in. x 13 3/4 in.MEASURMENTS: Height: by sight 10 3/4 in. x Width: 8 in.
