EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of an evening in 18th century Britain. Created by renowned artist William Hogarth, this piece titled "Evening (The Four Times of Day), March 25,1738" is a satirical depiction of life during that time. In this scene, we see a bustling street filled with people going about their daily activities. The image showcases the country's heritage art and architecture, with a prominent pub sign for Sir Hugh Middleton Tavern and Sadlers Wells in the background. Men and women can be seen strolling along the street, while children play nearby. One cannot miss the presence of cows being herded through the streets by a man carrying buckets. This humorous touch adds to Hogarth's satire as he comments on various aspects of society. The inclusion of a cuckold figure further emphasizes his social commentary. The engraving beautifully captures both the exterior details of buildings and the expressions on people's faces. It transports us back to England in the eighteenth century, allowing us to glimpse into everyday life during that era. Displayed at The Met museum, this artwork serves as a reminder of Hogarth's talent in using cartoons to convey powerful messages about society. With its intricate details and thought-provoking themes, "Evening (The Four Times of Day)" continues to captivate viewers even centuries later.
