"A Harlot's Progress" is a series of six paintings and engravings created by the renowned English artist William Hogarth in 1731. This seminal work is a vivid narrative that chronicles the tragic downfall of a young woman named Moll Hackabout, who arrives in London with dreams of prosperity but is quickly led into a life of prostitution. Hogarth's series is a poignant social commentary on the moral and societal issues of 18th-century London, including the exploitation of women, the perils of urban life, and the consequences of vice and corruption.

The story begins with Moll's arrival in Cheapside, where she is met by a bawd, Mother Needham, who entices her into a life of vice. As the series progresses, Moll's descent is depicted through various stages: from her initial seduction and life as a kept woman, to her involvement with a series of increasingly disreputable men, and ultimately to her imprisonment and death from venereal disease. Each plate is rich with symbolic detail and Hogarth's characteristic wit, offering a critical perspective on the social and moral fabric of the time.

Hogarth's work was groundbreaking in its use of sequential art to tell a moral story, and it was immensely popular upon its release. The engravings were widely distributed, making "A Harlot's Progress" accessible to a broad audience and cementing Hogarth's reputation as a master of satire and social critique. The series not only reflects the artist's technical skill and keen observational prowess but also his deep engagement with the pressing issues of his day. Through "A Harlot's Progress," Hogarth effectively used art as a medium for social reform, highlighting the need for compassion and change in the face of widespread moral decay.
