"Hogarth's objective here was to direct attention to the fact that, although his theory of the line of Beauty (symbolized in the design by two eels upon a plate) was old and simple, at least he was the first who had definitely announced it". (Dobson, p.145) The present title also includes the 2 large folding plates. iii-xxii, (1)pp. table of contents, (1)pp., errata, introduction (1)-12pp., text 13-153pp., (2)pp., listing the figures contained within the two folding plates,.

in back and green, measuring 10"x10" x2 ½", inside lid contains a cassette tape. A wonderful and
