Description: Size: Mount 32.5 cm square, print image 18 cm square. Condition: Very good condition, mount new. Sarah Malcolm, a laundress, was convicted in 1733 of three murders in connection with a house burglary. She was hanged at Tyburn in London, while still denying the crimes. The famous artist William Hogarth paid her a visit while she was awaiting execution, and sketched her, which only increased her infamy. Later Hogarth made an oil painting after the sketch (now in the Scottish National Gallery), and also his own engraving. This print is from a later engraving made from Hogarth's painting. Hogarth's own engraved plate was not available to publishers in the late 18th and early 19th century, so this engraving was used for the collected published works of Hogarth. The engraving is probably c1790, this print about 1820.
