The Magic Lantern, Paul Before Felix
1731 - 1809
Paul Sandby
British
This etching represents William Hogarth sitting on a chair in front of his easel with a modified version of his painting "Pharoah's Daughter." His head acts like a magic lantern which, through his mouth, light projects his own print of "Paul before Felix Burlesqued."
