Hogarth believed popular art could effect social change, and his images frequently offer prescriptive commentary on the manners and mores of Londons inhabitants. In these two companion images, he reacted to a dangerous surge in gin consumption among the lower classes, illustrating how unregulated sales of the “cursed fiend” gin exacerbated poverty, criminality, and amoral behavior (with a “bad mother” as the central figure), while drinking beer “can sinewy strength impart,” as the moralizing ca
