EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Hudibras Sallies Forth" we are transported to the satirical world of Samuel Butler's famous poem. Engraved by C. Armstrong and published in 1833, this lithograph is a part of William Hogarth's collection. The scene depicted showcases a group of riders embarking on a journey through the countryside. These male characters, known as travellers, are portrayed with great detail and humor. Mounted on bony horses, they appear starving and exhausted from their travels. As they pass through a rural village, the fat villagers look on in shock at the sight before them. The stark contrast between these two groups highlights the absurdity of societal norms during that time period. This illustration captures both the physical appearance and social commentary present in Butler's poem. Through his clever use of satire, he critiques various aspects of society such as class distinction and human nature itself. With its intricate details and rich storytelling, this print serves as a visual representation of Hudibras' adventures while offering us an insight into 17th-century England. It reminds us that art has always been a powerful tool for reflection and critique throughout history.
