"Marriage-à-la-mode" is a series of six engravings by the British artist Richard Earlom, based on the original paintings by William Hogarth. Created in the 18th century, these works are a satirical commentary on the aristocratic society of the time, particularly focusing on the institution of marriage. Earlom's engravings, produced in the 1760s, capture the intricate details and narrative depth of Hogarth's paintings, which were initially completed in the early 1740s.

The series follows the story of an ill-fated marriage between the son of a bankrupt nobleman and the daughter of a wealthy merchant. Each engraving vividly depicts a different scene, illustrating the moral and social consequences of marrying for financial gain rather than love. The narrative begins with the contractual arrangement of the marriage and progresses through various stages of infidelity, moral decay, and ultimately, tragedy.

Earlom's engravings are notable for their technical precision and ability to convey the complex emotions and societal critiques embedded in Hogarth's original works. The detailed line work and careful shading in Earlom's engravings bring a heightened sense of realism and drama to the scenes, making them accessible to a broader audience who may not have had the opportunity to view Hogarth's paintings in person.

"Marriage-à-la-mode" remains an important work in the history of British art, reflecting the social and cultural dynamics of 18th-century England. Earlom's engravings have been praised for their fidelity to Hogarth's vision and their contribution to the dissemination of Hogarth's satirical messages. The series continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and its incisive commentary on the perils of marrying for status and wealth rather than genuine affection.
