Hogarth Restored. The Whole Works ... now re-engraved by Thomas Cook. London: John Stockdale, John Walker and G. Robinson, 1812.

It contains Hogarth's works, including his celebrated series 'A Harlot's Progress', 'A Rake's Progress', and 'Marriage à la Mode', and influential prints such as Gin Lane.
