London of William Hogarth, The
- 1957 ----- b & w ----- 26 min ----- 16mm
- With penetrating insight and satire, William Hogarth vividly portrayed mid-eighteenth century London using engravings. Captures the spirit of the times by means of his biting caricatures of the nobility, the people of the streets, the bourgeois, the beggars, the theatre, the fair. The stories told by these plates later served as a background for The Beggar's Opera and eventually The Three-Penny Opera.
- Topics: (Art: History, History: British)
