The Man with the Load of Mischief, 18th century, (1943). Creator: William Hogarth
The Man with the Load of Mischief, 18th century, (1943). A man with a chain and padlock round his neck, carrying a " load of mischief" : a woman holding a glass of gin rides on his back, while a monkey pokes him in the ear. In the background is a pawnbrokers shop, a reference to belongings being pawned to buy alcohol. A misogynistic depiction which portrays the wife as a literal burden to the husband. ( Trouble and Strife is cockney rhyming slang for wife ). Inn sign attributed to William Hogarth which reputedly came from an inn called " The Mischief", in Oxford Street. From " English Inns", by Thomas Burke. [Collins, London, 1943]
