EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century steel engraving by William Hogarth, titled "HOGARTH: HUDIBRAS. The Burning of the Rumps at Temple Bar: And to the Largest Bonfire Riding. They've Roasted Cook Already, and Pride In. Fleet Street scene" offers a glimpse into a riotous moment in English history. The scene unfolds on Fleet Street, bustling with people immersed in their daily lives. In this satirical masterpiece, Hogarth skillfully captures the chaos and violence that engulfed the streets during this era. A large bonfire blazes at Temple Bar, where an effigy hangs from gallows above it - a symbol of public outrage against political corruption and tyranny. The print showcases both humor and social commentary as it depicts figures engaging in various activities amidst the mayhem. A butler can be seen fleeing with his tray of food while others roast meat over the fire or proudly display cooked rumps on sticks - a direct mockery of those in power. Hogarth's attention to detail is evident throughout; every character tells its own story within this riotous tapestry of life. This artwork serves as a reminder of historical events that shaped England's past while offering insight into daily life during the 18th century. As part of The Granger Collection's vast collection, this print provides viewers with an opportunity to delve into history through art and appreciate Hogarth's mastery in capturing both satire and reality within one frame.
