La Diligence, ou la cour de l’auberge de campagne

William Hogarth, 1747

This is a drawing of a busy street scene with a coach and inn. The image features an inn in the background with a sign that reads "The Old Angel Inn." To the left, individuals are interacting at a booth with a woman pointing upwards. A coach is prominently positioned in the center, with two men seated on top, and various figures engaged around it. The scene captures a moment of interaction with people getting ready to embark, while others are in conversation beneath a balcony filled with observers. A cart is on the right side, accompanied by a crowd and banners, suggesting a lively public gathering.
