EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Receipt for March to Finchley" by the renowned English artist William Hogarth, dates back to 1750 and is an intriguing snapshot of a significant historical event. The scene depicts the moment just before the grand procession, known as the "March to Finchley," was set to begin. The print shows a group of men gathered around a table, carefully examining a scroll that outlines the details of the subscription ticket for the march. The ticket, which is displayed prominently on the table, bears the date of 1749 and lists the various contributions made by the subscribers, including the sums paid for the bagpipes, trumpets, and other musical instruments. The men in the print are deeply engrossed in the task at hand, with some examining the scroll with great care, while others use scissors to cut out individual names from the list. The sense of camaraderie and community spirit is palpable, as these men prepare to embark on a journey that will bring together thousands of people in a show of solidarity and resistance. The March to Finchley was a political protest organized in response to the Stamp Act of 1749, which imposed taxes on printed materials. The march, which took place on March 12, 1750, drew an estimated 30,000 people from all walks of life, and was a powerful demonstration of the power of collective action. This print is a fascinating reminder of a pivotal moment in British history, and offers a glimpse into the world of 18th-century political activism. The intricate details, from the scroll and scissors to the bagpipes and trumpets, make it a rich and engaging work of art that continues to captivate viewers today.
