EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to April 1732, immersing us in the bustling streets of London. The image captures a pivotal moment in William Hogarth's iconic series titled "Harlot's Progress" specifically Plate 1. Measuring at an impressive size of 12 1/2 x 15 3/8 inches (318 x 391 cm), this etching and engraving showcases the artist's meticulous attention to detail. The scene unfolds outside the Bell Inn, where we witness Mary Hackabout, a naive country girl who has just arrived on a York wagon. She is being examined by her bawd-like mother, Needham, while passersby curiously observe their encounter. Mary stands out amidst the crowd with her extravagantly dressed appearance, drawing both admiration and judgment. Intriguingly enough, our attention is drawn towards a lecherous old gentleman on horseback - Colonel Charteris - whose eyes fixate upon the young girl with anticipation. This encounter between innocence and corruption sets the stage for Hogarth's narrative exploration of societal vices. Through this powerful visual medium, Hogarth skillfully exposes London's underbelly during that era while shedding light on themes such as exploitation and moral decay. As we gaze upon this fourth state plate print from "Harlot's Progress" we are reminded of Hogarth's exceptional ability to capture human emotions and tell stories through his art.
