is he/she is still alive; during what period was Colthorpe in Cambridge;
Was Colthorpe associated with one of Cambridge University’s libraries? Any knowledge how to conctact Colthorpe?

The comparison with Grunewald and the film poster is really interesting. I am really looking forward to the talk on 13 Nov now; have booked my place!

Comment on A very English art, or the Artist’s Progress by Dominique Ruhlmann

Dear Erica,

How lucky the Courtauld library is to have a first edition of Hudibras with Hogarth’s illustrations from 1726! Thanks for telling me about Frederick Antal’s work on Hogarth. I’ll take a look at his “Hogarth and his place in European art” – it sounds good.

You’re so right – I think Hogarth would have loved satirising our dependence on modern technology!

Thank you for this posting – especially the contemporary allusions.

We have a 1726 edition of the Hogarth Hudibras, printed by T. W. for D. Browne, J. Walthoe, J. Knapton, R. Knaplock, J. and B. Sprint… It is in our bequest from the art historian Frederick Antal, who wrote extensively about Hogarth.

And I suspect Hogarth would have had some interesting illustrations of the latest technology!
