William Hogarth FRSA (10 November 1697 – 26 October 1764) was an English painter, printmaker, pictorial satirist, social critic, and editorial cartoonist. His work ranged from realistic portraiture to comic strip-like series of pictures called "modern moral subjects", perhaps best known being his moral series A Harlot's Progress, A Rake's Progress and Marriage A-la-Mode. Knowledge of his work is so pervasive that satirical political illustrations in this style are often referred to as "Hogarthian". Haynes was an etcher and occasional mezzotinter, studied under John Hamilton Mortimer (q.v.) and made etchings after his work after his death in 1779. Ended career as a drawing master in Chester, where he died on 14 December 1829.
