Who knew Wacko Jacko was inspired by Hogarth!
My goodness.
CNN and BBC and Al Jazeera would've had fun with this, if it were true today, wouldn't they?
Kat: I'm puzzling:)
GG: the falling baby brings to mind some horrific recent cases right here in UK.
"If it were true today"
...sigh...
I travel too much by public transport
Kevin: you'll have to enlarge on that a bit dear.
I've been back several times to look at this. Whew.
Pat, if you saw the state of some of the people getting onto some of our buses you'd despair.
Kevin: I suppose I do live a sheltered life:)
Leah: come any time - you'll always be welcome.
Hogarth, what on earth was going through his mind?
Jimmy: plague, fire, pestilence, rape - usual stuff. No rose tinted specs for him.
We visited Hogarth's house in Chiswick a dhilw while ago. The drawings are incredible, entertaining and harrowing at the same time. A snapshot of life.
Leigh: another place I've missed - and unlikely to get the chance to see it now. Hey Ho!
My son made a study of Hogarth and other artists together with the social and political history of the times. It's difficult to say whether or not we've really progressed far in some ways . . . . .
