What to look for
William Hogarth: satirical series of moral tales, crowded scenes full of detail, comic types and London vice.
William Hogarth (10 November 1697 – 26 October 1764) was an English painter, engraver, cartoonist, and satirist. His work ranges from realistic portraiture to comic strip-like series of pictures called "modern moral subjects", and he is perhaps best known for his series A Harlot's Progress, A Rake's Progress and Marriage A-la-Mode.
