O THE ROAST BEEF OF OLD ENGLAND &c.

This print commemorates Hogarth’s arrest by the French when he sketched the gate of Calais in 1748. The print shows various impoverished French men gloating over a huge slab of British beef, in front of the Gate of Calais, bound for a local hotel.‘a classic distillation of contemporary British Francophobia.’ (Neil McWilliam)

Fine condition. Crisp and clean. Good wide margins.
