William Hogarth Prints


William Hogarth - "Cunicularii, or The Wise Men of Godalming in Consultation." This depicts Hogarth's satirical take on Mary Toft "giving birth" to rabbits.


William Hogarth - "The Reward of Cruelty" - a look at the kind of anatomical theatre we spoke of this week in our section on "Murderers."

And here is a link to an exhibition that was here at Northwestern a while back. It is Hogarth's narrative of the life and short career of a prostitute. Based on the story of Sarah Pridden, whose narrative we read, it is called "The Harlot's Progress."
