EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HOGARTH: ELECTION. Chairing the Member" takes us back to the chaotic streets of 18th century England, as depicted by the renowned artist William Hogarth. The scene captures a riotous mob in full swing, with men attacking and beating an unfortunate victim amidst the uproar. Hogarth's etching turned engraving skillfully portrays the satirical nature of English elections during that time. The image showcases a city engulfed in mayhem and disorder, perfectly reflecting the tumultuous political climate of those days. The central focus is on a pig being carried triumphantly in a sedan chair, symbolizing corruption and greed within politics. This biting commentary on politicians' behavior resonates even today, reminding us that some things never change. The composition exudes energy and movement; every detail meticulously captured by Hogarth's masterful hand. From enraged faces to flailing limbs, each element contributes to creating an atmosphere charged with tension and aggression. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are transported into an era where political unrest was rampant. It serves as a reminder that democracy has come far since then but still faces its own challenges today. "The Granger Collection" has done justice to this iconic piece through their high-quality reproduction, allowing art enthusiasts to appreciate Hogarth's genius from centuries ago.
