Thanks for that! Hogarth is a bit of a horror, isn’t he? I always look at his prints in Cecil Court in London (cheap prints that they display outdoors). I would never buy them of course - too real, too ugly. Nothing’s changed.

In fairness, Hogarth wasn't against drinking - just drinking gin. This was the compainion print to "Gin Lane":
