EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic shop-bill created by the renowned artist William Hogarth in 1724. The bill advertises the linen-shop owned by his sisters, Mary and Ann Hogarth. In intricate detail, Hogarth's artistic prowess is evident as he depicts the two sisters standing proudly outside their establishment. The caption on the bill reads: "Mary & Ann Hogarth from the old Frock shop at the corner of the Long Walk. . . Removed to ye Kings Arms. . . Sells ye best & most Fashionable Ready Made Frocks. . ". It goes on to list various items available for purchase, including stript Dimmity & Flanel Wastcoats, blue & canvas Frocks, and bluecoat Boys Drars. The advertisement emphasizes that these high-quality garments can be bought wholesale or retail at reasonable rates. William Hogarth was not only an accomplished painter but also a satirist and social critic. His ability to capture everyday life with wit and humor made him one of England's most celebrated artists of the 18th century. This particular piece reflects his talent for combining artistry with commercial promotion. As we admire this print today, we are transported back in time to witness a slice of London's bustling streets in the early 18th century. It serves as a reminder of both William Hogarth's artistic legacy and his family's entrepreneurial spirit that thrived during this era.
