"Harlots Progress" is a series of paintings and engravings created by the English artist William Hogarth in 1731. The work is a seminal example of Hogarth's narrative art, which combines satirical commentary with a keen eye for detail and character. The series consists of six paintings, which were later turned into engravings, depicting the life of a young woman named Moll Hackabout who arrives in London with dreams of prosperity but ultimately falls into a life of prostitution and meets a tragic end.

The narrative begins with Moll's arrival in London, where she is met by a bawd, Mother Needham, who lures her into a life of vice. As the series progresses, Moll's descent into degradation is chronicled through various stages: from being a kept mistress to a common prostitute, and finally, to her death from venereal disease. Each painting is rich with symbolism and detail, offering a moralistic view of the perils of vice and the social conditions of 18th-century London.

Hogarth's "Harlots Progress" was groundbreaking in its use of sequential art to tell a story, a precursor to modern graphic novels and comic strips. The series was immensely popular and established Hogarth's reputation as a leading artist and social critic. His work not only entertained but also served as a moral lesson, reflecting the artist's concerns about the moral and social issues of his time.

The engravings were widely distributed, making the series accessible to a broad audience and ensuring its lasting impact on both art and society. Hogarth's keen observation and ability to capture the complexities of human behavior and societal norms have made "Harlots Progress" a significant work in the history of Western art.
