March to Finchley in the Year 1746 (After Hogarth) is a 1750 by Luke Sullivan, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a chaotic street scene packed with people. Some carry weapons like swords and guns, while others hold flags or musical instruments. A few are dressed in military uniforms, and others wear everyday clothes. Buildings line the street, with signs and windows visible, and a crowd spills out of a tavern in the background. Notice how the artist packed so many people into the scene—everyone looks busy, some even climbing on furniture or waving wildly. The text at the bottom hints this might be a historical event, but the crowd’s energy is the real focus. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this print in person.
