{"product_id":"william-hogarth-beer-street-engraving-print","title":"William Hogarth — Beer Street | Engraving Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA busy London street where people eat, drink and joke in the foreground: a stout man with a tankard and clay pipe, a man in a cap kissing a woman who holds a large key, two women with baskets of fish and a ballad sheet, and a man draining a tankard at the right. At the left a painter on a ladder works at a pub sign with a palette, and a sedan chair passes in the middle distance. The title is lettered above and three columns of verse run below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe British Museum records that Hogarth published Beer Street on 1 February 1751 as a pair to Gin Lane, priced at one shilling, with verses at the foot praising beer as the happy produce of the island. The museum reads it as a flourishing city scene of well-fed working people, where poverty appears only in the sign painter's ragged coat and a collapsing pawnbroker's house. The Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired its impression of the 1751 print in 1932.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam Hogarth (1697–1764) was an English painter, engraver and satirist, born in London. Trained as an engraver of silver, he made his name with modern moral subjects told in series of paintings and prints — A Harlot's Progress, A Rake's Progress and Marriage A-la-Mode — and campaigned for the Engraving Copyright Act of 1735, which protected artists' prints from piracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
