EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Times of day, Night" takes us back to the 18th century streets of Georgian London. Created by the renowned artist William Hogarth and re-engraved by Thomas Cook in 1812, this hand-coloured engraving offers a vivid glimpse into a world filled with chaos and desperation. The scene depicted is one of utter lawlessness and poverty. The slums are rife with criminal activities as looters roam freely, taking advantage of the darkness that has engulfed the city. A frightened couple huddles together near a burning building, their faces etched with fear. Homelessness is rampant as people sleep rough on the streets, seeking refuge wherever they can find it. In this chaotic setting, we witness an audacious act as a drunken individual attempts to hold up a passing carriage. The air is thick with tension and uncertainty as lawless acts unfold before our eyes. Amidst all this turmoil, what catches our attention is an unexpected element - a chamber pot placed strategically in front of a window. This subtle detail serves as a reminder of the dire living conditions faced by those residing in these slums where even basic sanitation was lacking. Through Hogarth's masterful cartoon-like style, he manages to capture both the frightening reality and absurdity of life during this era. This print serves not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as an important historical document shedding light on societal issues that plagued 18th-century London.
