Text in English in the upper margin. Hogarth's paintings are attacked by the 'old masters', including 'St. Andrew on the Cross', 'The Punishment of Marsyas', and 'The Rape of Europa'. A painting of 'The Prayer of Francis' pierces Hogarth's 'Morning'; a painting of a praying Magdalene pierces a work from the series 'A Harlot's Progress', and the 'Aldobrandini Wedding' splits the second painting from the series 'Marriage à la Mode'. A print from 'The Rake's Progress' makes a hole in 'Feast of the Gods', and 'Midnight Modern Conversation' does the same to 'The Triumph of Bacchus' after Rubens. Dozens of masterpieces are lined up on the left.
