This 1725 engraving by William Hogarth, titled "Cassandra", serves as the frontispiece to the first volume of a series of prints. The print depicts the Greek mythological figure Cassandra, known for her prophetic abilities, being disregarded and ignored by those around her. The image is characterized by detailed linework and stark contrasts, typical of Hogarth's style. It is a testament to Hogarth's talent as both an artist and a social commentator.
