EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white illustration captured by Ken Welsh, we are transported to the world of William Hogarth's "The Weighing House". The image depicts a scene where the degrees of dumbness and foolishness are being weighed. At the center of the composition stands a grand weighing scale, adorned with letters representing different aspects of human behavior. From A to I, each letter signifies a varying level of gravity or levity in one's character. A represents absolute gravity, while I represents absolute levity or stark foolery. Surrounding the scale are individuals who embody these different traits. On one side, we see those with practical gravity and comparative gravity - individuals who possess some sense and wit but may still fall short in certain areas. On the other side, there is comparative levity or coxcombery alongside partial levity or pert foolishness. This thought-provoking artwork invites us to reflect on our own behaviors and tendencies towards stupidity or good sense. It serves as a reminder that intelligence comes in various forms and degrees, highlighting both our strengths and weaknesses. Through his masterful technique, Hogarth skillfully captures the complexities of human nature within this intricate print. As viewers gaze upon this mesmerizing piece, they can't help but ponder their own place on this spectrum between dumbness and wisdom.
