EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Times of the Day: Night" by William Hogarth takes us back in time to a chaotic and lawless street scene. Published in 1833, this lithograph captures the essence of a rough and frightening night in an English city. In this image, we witness a frightened couple caught amidst looting and burning buildings. The streets are filled with chaos as criminals hold up a carriage while others sleep rough on the cold pavement. The destitution is palpable, highlighting the harsh realities of poverty and homelessness that plagued society during this era. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable, showcasing dilapidated slums and even including a chamber pot symbolizing the lack of proper sanitation facilities. Such crude elements like toilet water, urine, and sewage further emphasize the dire living conditions endured by those less fortunate. Hogarth's use of cartoon-like imagery adds depth to his social commentary on crime and desperation prevalent during Georgian times. This print serves as a stark reminder that not all aspects of history were glamorous or refined; it sheds light on the darker side of society often overlooked in traditional art forms. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking piece from our private collection, we cannot help but reflect on how far we have come since then – acknowledging progress made while recognizing there is still work to be done for those facing similar challenges today.
