The eight scenes tell the story of Tom Rakewell, a young man who follows a path of vice and self-destruction after inheriting a fortune from his miserly father. It was Hogarth's second 'modern moral subject', and followed the hugely successful A Harlot's Progress (1730).In an advertisement published in November 1734 Hogarth invited potential subscribers to visit his studio in Leicester Fields (now Leicester Square) to see the paintings before subscribing to a set of engravings.The price is for the set of eight.
