AbstractIn William Hogarth's twelfth and last scene of Industry and Idleness, the newly elected Lord Mayor of London sits in his coach and leads a procession of guilds displaying various banners. Spectators watch and cheer. Others, however, occupy themselves in activities such as drinking or love making. To the right a comic group of city militia mill about. One stupidly discharges his gun. Besides them a boy holds a broadsheet entitled, "A full and true Account of ye Ghost of Tho. Idle". The gala occasion is observed the Prince of Wales and his peers, who occupy the upper balcony. William Hogarth's moral statement and primary purpose in this series is to illustrate the benefits of sincere and honest work. This is truely empathized in this final plate.
