Hogarth has gained new modern friends. Has anyone else noticed how the shoes on his Chiswick High Road millennium statue have gained a new patina from passing strokes (as has the nose and paws of Trump, his pug)? #Chiswickhistory #Hogarth https://t.co/b4thYyTFpO
Discover more about William Hogarth’s close network of friends and neighbours who lived and visited him at his house in #Chiswick. #18thcentury #BestFriendsDay
