Item description from seller

Large 4to, pp. [82] including 16 full-page etchings. Errata slip loosely inserted. Original black cloth backed in black plastic, front board lettered in grey. Small mark to half-title. Boards lightly soiled and a little marked, edges just a touch bumped in places. The etchings date from the early sixties and were originally conceived as a series of 8, transposing the subject of Hogarth?s namesake series of paintings to North America. At the suggestion of the Royal College of Art Hockney expanded the series, and they were first published in 1963 in an edition of 50. When the Lion and Unicorn Press prepared this edition, they commissioned American poet David Posner to write a poem which, per the verso of the half-title ?which was to be a work in its own right and not necessarily an illustration to David Hockney?s engravings..
