Romijn de Hooghe des. et sculpsit. 1670.
[Leige & Amsterdam: Ex officina Danielis, Abrahami & Adriani a` Gaasbeek, 1670.]
Etching. 185 x 345mm (7¼ x 13½"). Narrow margins, laid on card.
An allegory of the choices of life: children stream from between the legs of a woman in the foreground to pass through an arch to live their lives, with the middle ground filled with people partying and brawling. On the left others are being tortured in a cave, a gallows above; on the right is a burning church. Far fewer people pass a narrower arch and join a steep path up to Heaven. Published in 'Epicteti Enchiridium', this is an illustration of Matthew 7:13: ''Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it''.

Fine hand-coloured etching. 260 x 360mm (10¼ x 14¼"). Trimmed to plate.
Satire on the cost of John Nash's reconstruction of Buckingham House (now Palace) with perhaps the only contemporary printed likeness of the architect. Nash stands between the two wings of the house, confronted by John Bull who scrutinises a scroll on which the word 'Commission' is many times repeated. By this time more than double the original estimate had already been spent and an alteration to the wings had cost £50,000 (both issues alluded to in the speech between Nash and John Bull). Nash admitted that he had profited by exchanging his salary for a percentage commission on expenditure (hence the scroll). During 1829 a thousand men were toiling to finish the Palace by the King's birthday (August 12) in 1830, making the publication of this print particularly timely.

The National Convention Bothered; or General Dumoirier arresting the French Commissioners who were sent to take Him in to Custody.
Drawn by Dodd from a Sketch taken on the Spot. Wilkes Sculpt
Pub.d by C. Johnson Saturday April 27, 1793
Engraving with letterpress sheet, sheets 210 x 130mm (8¼ x 5"). Paper tone.
Satire on Charles François Dumouriez (1739-1823), a former French general who since the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789 had joined the Jacobin Club and subsequently the Girondist party. Made commander of the "army of the centre" in 1792, Dumouriez planned to invade Belgium, although the decision was not popular and Dumouriez's position became more precarious after a major defeat in the Battle of Neerwinden in March 1793. This led to the event lampooned here, in which Dumouriez arrested the four deputy-commissioners of the National Convention who had been sent to inquire into his conduct, handed them over to the enemy, and attempted to persuade his troops to march on Paris and overthrow the revolutionary government. The attempt failed, Dumouriez fled to the Austrian camp, and spent his later life travelling from country to country, involved in various intrigues. He settled in England after the government granted him a pension in 1804. From the 'Wonderful Magazine', an entertaining but short-lived periodical founded in 1793 by the hack writer and bookseller Henry Lemoine (1756-1812). Offered with accompanying satirical poem on Dumouriez by Thomas Bellamy

National Union for Improving the Education of Woman of All Classes. Central Committee. We wish to draw your attention to the great need of really good Schools that can be attended at a moderate cost, for the better education of Girls and Young Women. This want was shown to exist by the reports of the Schools Enquiry Commission. The Union for Improving the Education of Women proposes to meet this want, and as the necessary funds are too large to be provided out of private means, and the hope of help from endowments is remote, the experiment is to be tried of raising them by a Limited Liability Company, which will begin by founding a public Day School for Girls in South-west London. This is the scheme for which we ask support, especially by taking Shares. Should this School succeed, similar Schools will be founded in other places wherever wanted. We therefore send you the Prospectus of the proposed School, and also a Circular of the Union, which will explain the objects for which it was founded. On behalf of the Committee, Signed, [facsimile signature:] Princess Louise Marchioness of Lorne. President of the Union.

Maria Georgina Grey (1816-1906) was an educationalist and writer in the United Kingdom who promoted women's education. In 1871 she presented the idea of creating a national movement which would promote women's education to the Society of Arts, which offered great support. With Princess Louise as patroness, she sought to establish good and cheap day schools for all classes above the level of elementary education.
