The second stage of cruelty
Hogarth, William, 1697-1764 · (c) February 1, 1751
A street scene outside Thavies Inn, Holborn. In the foreground, a coach has overturned and four lawyers scramble out while Tom Nero, the coachman, beats the injured horse; other cruel and careless incidents take place beyond, and on the wall are broadsides advertising a cock-fight and a boxing bout.
