Lonely Planet review for Hogarth’s House

Home between 1749 and 1764 to artist and social commentator William Hogarth, this house now diplays his caricatures and engravings, with such works as the haunting Gin Lane, Marriage-à-la-mode and a copy of A Rake’s Progress. Here you’ll also find the private engravings Before and After (1730), commissioned by the Duke of Montagu and bearing Aristotle’s aphorism Omne Animal Post Coitum Triste (Every creature is sad after intercourse). Although the house and grounds are attractive, very little original furniture remains so this is really for ardent Hogarth fans.
