=== Description ===
"This is a framed engraving of William Hogarth's ""Night,"" which is the fourth plate in his famous series titled ""The Four Times of Day,"" originally created in 1738.

• Satirical Theme: The image depicts a chaotic, squalid scene of 18th-century London, serving as a satirical commentary on the ""horrors of low life"" in the town.

• Key Details: In the centre, a drunk Worshipful Master of a Masonic lodge is shown being doused with the contents of a chamber pot thrown from a window above.

• Setting: The scene takes place around a large bonfire in the street, filled with rowdy characters, an overturned coach, and various comedic or disastrous interactions

• Historical Significance: As part of a four-part series, this print was intended to criticise the morality and social habits of 18th-century Londoners"
