"Burning the Rumps at Temple Bar" and "Hudibras and the Lawyer" are two prints created by the renowned English artist William Hogarth. Hogarth, who lived from 1697 to 1764, was a painter, printmaker, pictorial satirist, and social critic known for his moral and satirical engravings and paintings. These particular works are part of a series that illustrates the satirical poem "Hudibras" by Samuel Butler, which mocks the hypocrisy and follies of the time, particularly targeting the Presbyterians and the Roundheads.

"Burning the Rumps at Temple Bar" depicts a scene of chaotic celebration in which a bonfire is made of the "rumps" of the Parliamentarians, a reference to the Rump Parliament that followed the English Civil War. The print captures the raucous atmosphere of the event, with figures dancing and reveling around the fire. Temple Bar was a notable landmark in London, serving as a ceremonial entrance to the City of London from Westminster and a place where such public spectacles often occurred.

"Hudibras and the Lawyer" is another print from the same series, showing the comical encounter between the poem's protagonist, Hudibras, and a lawyer. The scene is rich with satirical detail, poking fun at the legal profession and its practitioners. Hudibras, a caricature of a Puritan knight, is often depicted in absurd situations throughout the series, highlighting the absurdity and pretentiousness of those Hogarth sought to criticize.

These works are exemplary of Hogarth's style, which combined keen observation of human behavior with a sharp wit to critique and document the society of his time. The prints are not only significant as works of art but also as historical documents that provide insight into the political and social climate of 18th-century England. They are held in various collections and continue to be studied for their artistic merit and historical significance.
