About this work

This print comes from Hogarth’s “H Beard Print Collection.” It’s a trade card design made for three different businesses—W. Hogarth, Willm. Hardy, and Ellis Gamble. Small but clever, these cards mix ads with art. They show how one artist’s style could flip into something useful for printers and shopkeepers. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more Hogarth prints.
