EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching and engraving created by the renowned artist William Hogarth in 1732. This intriguing print, part of the series "A Harlot's Progress" depicts a pivotal moment in the harlot's tumultuous journey. In this particular plate, we find ourselves inside a dimly lit bedroom adorned with an elegant four-poster bed. The scene is filled with tension as the harlot is apprehended by a stern magistrate accompanied by his maid. The room itself reflects squalor and decay, emphasizing the harlot's unfortunate circumstances. As our eyes wander through this arresting image, we notice scattered brooms and broken crockery strewn across the floor—a testament to both chaos and desperation.
