Excellent details about the satirical background and characters on this Wikipedia page. Hogarth painted a set of similar farcical artworks on the same theme.

I love Hogarth’s “serial” paintings that all tell a story. They can be a tad sanctimonious for today’s views, but I could imagine them hitting hard when they were first produced.
