Over a period of 11 years William Hogarth, 18th century English artist, created a series of 8 paintings called A Rake's Progress. In 1735, Hogarth engraved and published the works in print.

  5. I haven't seen Barry Lyndon yet but plan to rectify that as soon as possible. The images of the movie you posted are so beautiful I can not wait to see them on a larger screen. I can't get over how lovely the scenery is, how detailed the costumes are...it's all so perfect!

    Thank you!

  6. Janet and Pamela, The Soane house is a vision to behold. It fascinates- As you can guess-these Hogarth's escaped me, easy to do in that place. Time for a visit. What about a planned tour Janet?
