Pl. 4. Chairing the members
Hogarth, William, 1697-1764 · (c) January 1, 1758
Scene in a country town with two newly-elected members of parliament (one a representation of George Bubb Dodington, the other visible only as a shadow on a distant wall) carried shoulder-high along the street, led by a blind and ragged fiddler and surrounded by a chaotic and disreputable crowd.
