[Design advertising Allsopps Pale Ale, with allegorical illustrations of the brewing process and profile heads representing the continents]
[Anon., c.1880]
Etching on india, very scarce; sheet 205 x 200mm (8 x 7¾"). Trimmed inside platemark on one side; taped to backing sheet at edges; tear inside platemark.
Reversed design advertising Allsopps Patent Pale Ale, with illustrations of putti 'picking', 'brewing', 'drinking' and 'exporting'. The profile heads representing the four continents atest to the global reach of the company. Samuel Allsop and Sons, brewing giants of Burton-on-Trent, exported pale ale to India fom 1822 and became a spectacularly successful Victorian firm (the world's third largest brewery in the 1870s). A label attached to the backing sheet reads 'W.T. Copeland. Seen on a change-well for a shop or public house counter', suggesting the involvement of pottery manufacturer William Taylor Copeland (1797-1868) and possibly linking the design to use on ceramics. The image could have been printed onto transfer paper and then onto ceramics, reversing the image again so it reads the right way around.

John Pounds, late of St Mary Street Portsmouth. who while making an honest substance by Mending Shoes was also School-Master, Gratuitouslyly, to some hundreds of the Childeren of his poor Neighbours. Born 17 June 1766 _ Died 1 January 1839, Aged 72.
Drawn on Stone by W. Mitchell, from the Original Painting by H.S. Sheaf, in the possession of E. Carter Esq.r.
Printed & Published by W.H. Charpentier, Artists' Repository 50, High Street, Portsmouth. [n.d., 1839.]
Fine & rare coloured lithograph. Sheet 435 x 315mm (17 x 12½"). Trimmed to image. Some distortion and toning to the page.
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.
