Industry and Idleness

London, Baldwin Craddock & Joy 1822

Copper engravings

Average size 270x350mm

Hogarth’s famous moral tale (first published 1747) of the contrasting careers of the idle and the industrious apprentices. Idle turns to robbery and murder, is betrayed by a prostitute and eventually ends up being hung at Tyburn, while Goodchild works hard, marries his master’s daughter and becomes Lord Mayor of London. These prints were often given to apprentices by their masters for Christmas presents. The copperplates of this set were recently purchased by the British Museum. 1.
