In
continuing the tradition of providing valuable services to the public through
this blog, I extend the following tribute to all the good people that may be
reading my scribblings. I present here Mr. William Hogarth's famous 1732
pictorial narrative, "A Rake's Progress," shewing folly in most
disgraceful lights, rendering the avoidance of folly a moral duty.
My
reader shall be pleased to discover that
I have chosen to display only the parts of the pictures that focus on our
hero's face and the immediate area around it; for by doing so, I may more
effectively edify my 21st century gentleman readers, and guide their moral
development.
