Something for the Memoirs

So circa 2010, little old me found myself hanging out with some fun ladies who were working at fashion week, then hanging out for drinks after at a swanky bar. We were all convinced to go to a members only club with another fashionister (that is the male version, right?). The whole place is black with various forms of lighting in different colors. And the only image anywhere was this:

Weird, right? But not just this. Pictured here is the first in a series of prints by William Hogarth, from 1732, called A Harlot's Progress. The series shows a woman descending into prostitution and eventually dying of venereal disease. On the wall of this club, though, was a GIANT DETAIL--blown up way beyond the original size of the engraving--of just the woman with her boob hanging out.

As a sidenote, the last in the series shows that the woman has syphilis according to the shading on her nose.
