Légende

John Wilkes, 1763. Wilkes is wearing a wig that Hogarth has fashioned into two horns. He holds a cap entitled liberty that Hogarth has positioned to make it look like a halo. On the table are copies of his newspaper The North Briton. In 1762 Hogarth had published a satire The Times that, for Hogarth, was unusually anti-war. It angered many politicians, including John Wilkes. Therefore Wilkes attacked Hogarth in his newspaper The North Briton, by depicting him as an old fool. In response Hogarth produced this engraving.
