Hogarth: Industry and Idleness

The twelve etchings, dating to 1747, are a recent acquisition of the Picker Art Gallery. Hogarth tells the story of two apprentices in 18th century London, one lazy, the other studious. The series was “calculated for the use and instruction of youth” (Hogarth) and provides entertainment as well as education.
