Fine engraving from Hogarths' The Four Times of Day series. Presented in his satirical style, the scene depicts a family trying to escape the city by visiting Sadler's Wells, a resort and water source near the edge of London. This is a perfect picture of a dysfunctional family with fighting children and disinterested husband and wife. Engraved by B. Baron, publication date unknown.
