"Blowing off about his new Copyright Act" is an engraving by William Hogarth created in 1755. It satirizes the Copyright Act of 1735 and is a good example of Hogarth's signature style. The engraving depicts a scene of chaotic objects, including crowns, books, and musical instruments, with a crown at the top in a ray of light. Hogarth's work is often seen as a visual commentary on societal issues, and this print is no exception. This artwork is a good representation of the artist's skill and the British satirical engravings of the 18th century.
