Industry and Idleness
 
In the twelve prints of 
Industry and Idleness
(1747) Hogarth showed 
the lives of two apprentices, one of whom is dedicated and hard working, the 
other idle. The industrious apprentice becomes Sheriff and Lord Mayor of 
London. The idle turns one to crime. In the end, he is executed at Tyburn. The 
idle apprentice is sent to the gallows by the industrious apprentice himself. 
This shows the work ethic of Protestant England, where those who 
work hard get rewarded, and those who do not end badly, 
Beer Street and Gin Lane
 
Beer Street
and 
Gin Lane
(1751) was his 
warning on alcoholism. They were 
two engravings designed to be seen side by side. Hogarth engraved 
Beer 
Street
to show a happy city drinking the 'good' beverage of English beer. On 
the other side was 
Gin Lane
. This showed the effects of drinking gin which, 
as a harder liquor, caused more problems for society. People are shown as 
healthy, happy and prosperous in 
Beer Street
, while in 
Gin Lane
they are 
scrawny, lazy and careless. 
The woman at the front of 
Gin Lane
who lets her baby fall to its death, echoes 
the tale of Judith Dufour who strangled her baby so she could sell its clothes 
for gin money. The prints were published in support of what would become 
the Gin Act of 1751. 
Hogarth's friend, the magistrate Henry Fielding, may have got Hogarth to help 
with propaganda for the Gin Act: 
Beer Street
and 
Gin Lane
were issued 
shortly after Fielding's work 
An Enquiry into the Causes of the Late Increase 
of Robbers, and Related Writings
