Mary and Ann Hogarth - A Glimpse into 18th Century Commerce
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a historical shop-bill created by the renowned English painter, William Hogarth, in 1724. The bill serves as an advertisement for his sisters' linen-shop, Mary & Ann Hogarth. Engraved by Thomas Cook, this piece provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of commerce during the early 18th century. The caption on the shop-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. . ". This intriguing description reveals that their business specialized in selling fashionable ready-made frocks along with other garments such as stript Dimmity & Flanel Wastcoats, blue & canvas Frocks, and bluecoat Boys Drars. Hogarth's attention to detail is evident in this engraving. It not only captures the essence of his sisters' thriving enterprise but also reflects his own artistic prowess as an engraver. The image transports us back to a time when bustling shops lined cobblestone streets and trade was conducted face-to-face. As we admire this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are reminded of William Hogarth's multifaceted talent as a painter, printmaker, satirist, social critic, and cartoonist. His work continues to captivate audiences even centuries later by offering glimpses into everyday life during one of history's most transformative eras – truly making him an icon of British artistry.
