Abstract:
"Frontispiece to John Clubbe, 'Physiognomy'; being a sketch only of a larger work upon the same plan...' (London, 1763); scene outside an inn with the sign of 'The Weighing House', with nine men being assessed along a scale of gravity to levity; at right a man by the inn door operates a pulley to raise a magnet from the crossbeam of the inn sign; the men are balanced in a semi-circle from 'A', 'absolute Gravity', standing on his head, to 'I', 'absolute Levity or Stark Fool', in the middle of the air just beneath the magnet; at the centre, horizontally balanced and with nonchalant expression, is E, 'good Sence'."--British Museum online catalogue
Alternative Title:
Weighing house
Description:
Title, date, artist, printmaker and publication information from Paulson., The degree of Hogarth's involvement in the design is unknown (see Paulson for discussion). Clubbe dedicated the 'Physiognomy' to Hogarth, and the author's son claimed that Hogarth had drawn at least the faces, but that perhaps the rest of the design was by Joshua Kirby, draughtsman and writer on perspective and a mutual friend to Hogarth and Clubbe. The attribution of the engraving to Luke Sullivan is as early as Nichols and Steevens' 'The Genuine Works of William Hogarth' (1808) vol. 1, p. 373., Sheet trimmed to plate mark., and On page 199 in volume 2.
