Another unruly crowd, this time for Francis Goodchild's Lord Mayor's Procession. Hogarth's account of the parallel lives of the Industrious and Idle apprentices is on the surface a simple morality tale - but his view seems a bit ambiguous. Satirists never tell a simple story.

Excitement over new Collections On-Line made me forget to tweet the next instalment of Industry and Idleness. Tom is in court and guess who decides his fate - and who is there to watch the judgement. And see how Hogarth changes the composition in working drawings. https://t.co/TrX3dmxSVS

Goodchild marries the boss's daughter and becomes partner in the business. Lots to say about wedding celebrations at his house on Fish Street Hill, see https://t.co/KkQKmlRzxR. Hogarth worked out his composition in two drawings https://t.co/pvVz9AxnxT and https://t.co/oRopkTEIku https://t.co/BOi5cEeHHa

C is for Cheese, well to be exact! From Capodimonte cheese seller with a wheel of it, Italy, c. 1755, and in London, you could buy it from Mrs Holt's on the Strand, along with some Genoese Trade card after Hogarth, engr. c. 1794 by Anna Maria Ireland

Goodchild in charge of running workshop - women spinning, men weaving, child fetching and carrying, elderly porter delivering rolls of cloth. All seems to run smoothly, but Hogarth lets and suggest otherwise. Cat looks even angrier in preparatory drawing https://t.co/b10DvwhQYm

It's good to spread the word. I find younger artists who don't know about Hogarth. Not everybody needs the master classes, but they should know where to go to find them. Otherwise, they're stuck learning how to draw comics from Christopher Hart. 😩

Today: St George’s Bloomsbury London

Look up if you pass this eccentric church

The lions & unicorns on the tower were part of Hawksmoor’s 1711 design (& are on Hogarth’s Gin Lane), but were replaced by the Victorians - too racy!

put them back

Today's British print by William Hogarth: John Wilkes MP on trial for seditious libel in 1763 shown as leering hypocrite upholding Liberty as convenient slogan. But, with slight adjustment, image was used by supporters of Wilkes. Warning! Caricature can backfire.
