[John Howard Esq. Visiting and Relieving the Miseries of a Prison.]
[Painted by F. Wheatley. Engraved by Ja.s Hogg.
T. Simpson Excud.t. Publish.d April 9 1790 by Thomas Simpson St. Pauls Church Yard, and James Hogg No. 52 Berwick Street, Soho, London.]
Etching with engraving, unfinished proof before letters. Probably a unique working proof; 480 x 600mm (19 x 23½"). Trimmed within plate, loss in right edge, two printer's creases through inscription area just into image.
A visit of John Howard (1726-90) to a prison, illustrating the conditions he attempted to alleviate, with a poor family, including a breast-feeding mother and a dying old man. Howard was appointed High Sheriff of Bedfordshire in 1773 and, taking his role seriously instead of as a sinecure, inspected the county prison himself. He was so shocked that he spent the rest of his life campaigning for prison reform. His 'The State of the Prisons' was published in 1777. He travelled all over Europe and died in Ukraine, where he was buried. A statue was erected in St Paul's Cathedral, London, the first for a civilian.
