G. Scotin

G. Scotin left a small but sharp footprint in 18th-century prints. In the H. Beard Print Collection you can find their January 1745 engraving, a crisp sheet that captures the look and feel of a specific moment. Their work belongs to the same era as Hogarth’s social satires, though without sharing the same fame. Look for the way Scotin’s lines define costume, posture, and setting in a single glance. Next, tap into the same print collection to see how 1745 London looked through an engraver’s eye.
