About the Item
Hogarth's 1756 England Satirical Print: A Patriotic Masterpiece, Published 1799
This image is a work by William Hogarth titled "England," part of his series "France and England," also known as "The Invasion." It was originally published in 1756, though this specific print is a later edition published by G.G.
J. Robinson in Paternoster Row on December 1, 1799, as indicated at the bottom of the print. The artwork is Plate II of the series, designed by Hogarth and engraved by T. Cook.
Description and Context:
"England" is a satirical engraving that contrasts English and French national characteristics during a period of heightened tension between the two nations, specifically around the Seven Years' War (1756–1763). The print glorifies English strength, patriotism, and abundance while mocking the French. The scene depicts a group of robust English soldiers and civilians outside a tavern named "Duke of Cumberland," a reference to the British military leader who defeated the Jacobites at Culloden in 1746. The sign "Roast
Boil'd Every Day" and the lyrics "Old England's Beef and Beer" emphasize English prosperity and hearty sustenance.
In the foreground, soldiers are preparing for war, with one playing a fife and another a drum, while others hold weapons like a flail. A recruiting poster on the wall reads, "You take me to a land of plenty, from scanty, send me." The background shows a line of disciplined soldiers, symbolizing English military readiness. The Union Jack flag and the phrase "Britannia Rule the Waves, Britons Never Will Be Slaves" on the tablecloth underscore national pride and defiance against foreign threats, particularly the French.
"England" (1756) is a patriotic satire focused on national identity and military prowess. "England" employs a grounded scene to celebrate English vitality and contrast it with French weakness (as depicted in its companion piece, "France"). It showcases Hogarth's sharp wit.
Condition: 1799 Hogarth "England" print shows edge wear, soiling, minor creasing, but mostly outside the image. Later hand-coloring. No tears, good overall state for age, with clear details intact and bright colors. Ready to be framed.
Framing Tips:
Frame with archival materials, UV glass, double matting (cream inner, navy outer), and an oak frame. Use cream to highlight the paper tone and navy to echo the patriotic blues, ensuring preservation and complementing the print's historical theme.
