William Hamilton. . 1767. Sir William Hamilton (1730-1803) was the British ambassador to the Court of the Two Sicilys.

He was quick to understand the importance of the vases to the study of ancient art and history.

- Royal Sports PIT TICKET - 18thC Entry Ticket to Cock Fight in Georgian EnglandBy William HogarthLocated in Meinisberg, CHAfter William Hogarth (British, 1697–1764) Royal Sports PIT TICKET • Engraving by William Dent (British), active from 1783 to 1793 • Inscribed bottom right: Dent sculp • Plate ca. 7.6 x 9.1cm • Image ca. 6.3 x 7.9 cm • Sheet ca. 23.5 x 15 cm Fantastic imagery full of detail and symbolism – For example discover the cast shadow of the dept collector with his truncheon, looming over the winner, whose fast gained riches are being stolen by a thief as we watch.
