Details |
Hogarth, Four Times of the Day, 4. Night. In a narrow street leading to Charing Cross, with an equestrian statue of Charles I at the far end, a bonfire and a barrel have caused the Salisbury Flying Coach to overturn, and a 'moonlight flit' of tenants escaping their landlord is going on in the background. The scene is set on 29 May, Oak Apple Day, a public holiday to celebrate the Restoration of the Monarchy.
