Apart from #William's birthday, November was not a happy month for the #Hogarths. On this day Jane nee Thornhill, his beloved wife, died. She was buried @StNicksW4. Here's her coffin plate & Lysons' sketch showing her name on the same face as William's (Yale CBA B1977.14.20299)

On 24 October 1764 #Hogarth was in his #Chiswick studio reworking the upper part of his plate for "The Bench". One of his assistants added these words later: "This plate would have been better explain'd had the Author Lived a Week longer"
