Sobre a obra
Nas palavras do museu — em holandês
De herberg is waarschijnlijk The Angel Inn in Islington met Tom Bates als uitbater. Bovenop de koets die naar Londen vertrekt zitten een Engelse marinier en Franse infanterist. Achteraan een stoet mensen die zich met de leus 'No Old Baby' tegen John Child Tylney keerde voor de opkomende verkiezingen.

Na vida de William Hogarth

London
1748
A trip to France and “The Gate of Calais”
Back from a visit to France — which, Horace Walpole wrote, was risky after the peace of Aix-la-Chapelle — Hogarth at once painted “The Gate of Calais”: the French are shown as cringing, emaciated and superstitious, while an enormous sirloin of beef is carried to the English inn as a symbol of British prosperity. By his own account he painted himself in the left corner sketching the gate, with a soldier’s hand on his shoulder.
1749
A country house in Chiswick
In 1749 Hogarth bought a country retreat in Chiswick — now Hogarth’s House, a museum — and spent time there for the rest of his life; his main home remained the house in Leicester Fields (now Leicester Square).
