Davies sculp. 4 Compton Str. Bruns.k Square.
[London: House of Commons, 1832.]
Coloured engraving. 250 x 330mm, 9¾ x 13". Laid on and edged with linen. Some wear and surface dirt.
South Queensferry, once a Royal burgh, but now a suburb of Edinburgh, on a scale is 6 inches to a mile. Originally published at the time of the Reform Act (which adjusted the boundaries of parliamentary constituencies to take account of the urban drift caused by the Industrial Revolution), this map has been updated with manuscript to determine the extent of free delivery for mail, part of the Great Post Office Reform of 1839-40, championed by Rowland Hill. Another part of this reorganisation was the introduction of the Penny Black, the world's first postage stamp.

Etching, 210 x 155mm (8¼ x 6"). Trimmed to platemark; glued to backing sheet.
Etching after Henry Bunbury, an amateur printmaker who subsequently enjoyed a successful career as a designer for printsellers. 'Prints by Bunbury an his imitators were conspicuously 'polite' and appealed, like novels, 'To the Fashionable World and Polite circles'. Of good family, amply endowed with social skills, a beautiful wife and connections in high society, Bunbury's appeal was not solely aesthetic' and his admirers 'recognized his comic talent, his informed enthusiasm for literature, and his ability to draw a momentary pang with something of the sensitivity with which Sterne could write it' (Clayton).

Publish'd According to Act of Parliament by J. Williams Bookseller next the Mitre Tavern Fleet Street, of whom may be had the Asses of G-t Bri-n the Laird of the Boot - Without & Within & the fall of Mortimer.
Etching and engraving. 202 x 290mm (8 x 11½). Trimmed and laid on album page.
Satire on Lord Bute's alleged promotion of Scots, in ten compartments each with two lines of verse (presumably reduced versions of ten larger prints, not all of which are in the British Museum collection). 'The Whipping Post': a Scotsman in a kilt flogs the naked figure of Britannia with a thistle, a sleeping lion rests at the foot of the whipping post beside Britannia's shield, Pitt begs on his knee for mercy and a chained mastiff barks furiously. 'The Scrubbing Post': Bute and two other Scots scratch themselves, one rubbing against a rough post topped by the head of a term. 'The Penny Post': a postman delivers a letter to a wealthy Scot while a chimney boy walks by. "The General Post": a Scottish general, preceded by a bagpiper, rides in front of a troop of infantry. 'The Highest Post': Bute expels Pitt from the Treasury and a number of Scots herd through the doors; a ghost (perhaps the old king, George II) appears on the left. 'The Triple Post': Britannia hangs Lord Bute at Tyburn (the triple tree) where a goose (probably the Duke of Bedford) and a fox (Henry Fox) are already hanging; a clergyman (possibly intended for Charles Churchill) stands beneath the gallows; on the left, Princess Augusta weeps while in the crowd behind her a man releases three pigeons into the air; on the right are two sheriffs on horseback, a woman ballad-seller with a 'Last Dying Speech' and an elegant couple. 'The Jumping Post': Scotsmen leap over posts labelled, 'Post Of[fice]', 'Custom Ho[use]", "Excise Of[fice]", and "Admiralty Of[fice]" towards the open window of the Treasury where a sentry sleeps on the ground in front of his box. 'The Starting Post': a horse race led by Bute who is cheered on by Princess Augusta. 'The Sign Post': an inn sign, lettered 'The Salutation', shows Bute and Princess Augusta kissing (see BM Satires 3953). 'The Directing Post': two Scotsmen hike along the 'Road to preferment' towards London which can be seen in the distance.

Apprenticed as a shipwright in the Portsmouth dockyard, Pounds was still a teenager when he fell into a dry dock, leaving him with permanent, crippling injuries. He became a cobbler, but while he worked he would give the poor and homeless children the basics of education. He would entice them in with hot baked potatoes, sometimes having as many as 40 children in his fourteen by eighteen feet workshop, as illustrated here. Thomas Guthrie (often credited with the creation of Ragged Schools) wrote his 'Plea for Ragged Schools' in 1847, proclaiming John Pounds as the originator of the idea. The 'Gentleman's Magazine' obituary of Pounds was published in February 1840, in which this print was described.
