DanaC Saturday Aug 2 03:04 PM *smiles* I love Hogarth. morethanpretty Saturday Aug 2 03:43 PM He was probably drunk on gin when the English beer lobbyists bribed him to draw that. Sundae Saturday Aug 2 04:27 PM Hogarth is someone I always reference when middle England start their going to hell in a handbasket rants. DanaC Saturday Aug 2 05:10 PM That whole Gin Act thing got quite nasty. Led to the Gordon Riots. newtimer Sunday Aug 3 01:42 AM Apparently even the buildings are unstable when people are drinking gin! Slight Sunday Aug 3 03:55 AM hi-res I wanted to take a closer look at the pawn-broker and I found high quality, high resolution [4000x4600] images of prints of the etchings of Gin Lane & Beer Street.

Anywhere I can see a larger better shot of the paintings? glatt Wednesday Aug 6 11:38 AM http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...d-Gin-lane.jpg xoxoxoBruce Wednesday Aug 6 12:01 PM Slight posted Hi-Res links in post #8.
