after William Hogarth

In the eighteenth century no artist went after street stories like Hogarth. He understood the public appetite for a great villain. In 1733, he depicted the twenty-two year old convict Sarah Malcolm, in Newgate Prison, just
days before her execution for murder. By pricing the print at sixpence, it was devoured by an eager public curious to put a face to the name of this infamous killer.
