EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by William Hogarth, titled "The Hogarth Times: Evening - The Original Sadler's Wells Building. The Husband's Horns Suggest He Has Been Cuckolded," dates back to 1738 and offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical and social fabric of 18th-century London. The image depicts a bustling pub scene set outside the original Sadler's Wells building, a popular entertainment venue known for its music, dancing, and theatrical performances. At the center of the composition, a husband, wearing a tricorn hat and a red waistcoat, sits dejectedly at a table, oblivious to the merriment around him. Behind his head, two sets of horns can be seen, a subtle yet powerful visual cue that suggests his infidelity. The pub scene is filled with various characters, each engaged in their own activities. A man milks a cow, while another quarrels with his companion, a dog lies at the feet of a woman, and a group of men play dice in the background. The atmosphere is lively, chaotic, and full of energy, reflecting the spirit of the times. The original Sadler's Wells building, a grand structure with a large signboard, dominates the background of the print. The building, which was demolished in the late 19th century, was a significant part of London's history and played a crucial role in shaping the city's cultural landscape. This print by Hogarth is a masterpiece of historical art, offering a unique perspective into the daily life and social norms of 18th-century London. The use of symbolism, such as the horns behind the husband's head, adds depth and complexity to the image, making it a fascinating study of human emotions and relationships.
