"The Roast Beef of Old England" (also known as "The Gate of Calais") and "The Distressed Poet" are two renowned engravings by William Hogarth, a prominent English painter, printmaker, pictorial satirist, and social critic of the 18th century. These works are exemplary of Hogarth's keen eye for social commentary and his skill in encapsulating the essence of British life and attitudes of his time.

"The Roast Beef of Old England," created in 1748, is a satirical depiction of the contrast between the robust British and the impoverished French. Measuring 39cm x 45.5cm and framed, the engraving portrays a scene at the gate of Calais, France, where a side of beef is being transported from England. The image is rich with symbolism and reflects Hogarth's patriotic pride in British prosperity and culinary tradition, as well as his critique of French customs and the Catholic Church.

"The Distressed Poet," another of Hogarth's celebrated engravings, offers a humorous yet poignant look at the struggles of a poet attempting to compose amidst the chaos of his impoverished household. Also measuring 39cm x 45.5cm and framed, this work is believed to have been completed around 1736. It is filled with intricate details that reveal the poet's dire financial situation and the domestic distractions that impede his creativity. The engraving is a commentary on the romanticized view of the artist's life, contrasting the lofty aspirations of the poet with the grim realities of economic hardship.

Both engravings are quintessential Hogarth, showcasing his mastery of narrative and his ability to weave complex social observations into engaging visual stories. These works remain significant for their artistic merit and for providing a window into the societal issues and cultural attitudes of 18th-century England.
