"The Company of Undertakers," is a satirical engraving by William Hogarth, a renowned British artist known for his social commentary. The work depicts a caricatured group of individuals, likely representing the undertakers of the time, gathered together in a seemingly morbid celebration. Hogarth's use of dark humor and exaggerated features in this satirical print highlights the greed and corruption of the death industry in 18th-century England.
