Abstract
A Conclusion summarises how the elements considered throughout the book assist in illustrating how the pictorial trope that manifests as Hogarth’s line of beauty can subsequently play a part within the visual media constructed for propaganda purposes, particularly but not limited to that associated with the First World War. The ways in which the visual construct of the line has risen above Hogarth’s initial hypotheses is demonstrated, along with the line of beauty’s potential for impacting upon contemporary methods of information distribution.
