‘An answer to the print of John Wilkes Esq by William Hogarth’ hitting back at Hogarth depicting him holding the original print of Wilkes and behind him a rather ugly figure, suggesting Hogarth still sees beauty by including the line of beauty on the canvas behind him.

An Election Series - 'Though set in the fictional constituency of 'Guzzle-down', Hogarth's attack on the fatuousness and corruption of contemporary politics draws its inspiration from polling in Oxfordshire during the General Election of 1754’
