In Flit prison by William Hogarth

This is the seventh engraving from the Hogartha series “Career Mota”. The artist sends his heroes to the famous London prison prison Fleet, which once sat his father and where, along with his mother, lived, and William.

Heavy memories of childhood helped the artist express expressively the drama of the spendthrift – a woman falling faint, crying children and utter helplessness to creditors.
