Ernst Ludwig Riepenhausen
1765 Göttingen 1840
University engraver there, friend of the poet Gottfried August Bürger (“Bürger’s ‘Münchhausen’ became the last German popular book”, Laaths, [History of World Literature], 1953). His engravings after Hogarth
(“very estimable”, Nagler)
belong to his chief work and not least for their side-correctness
they are partly even preferred to Hogarth’s own engravings.
therefore see under William Hogarth
“ Thank you so much for The Fashion Etchings by Hollar. I am very nicely surprised and very very impressed … The presentation is very professional and everything look very good … and if you have some more interesting etchings by Hollar … please let me know ”
