Keep Within Compass And You Shall be Sure, To Avoid Many Troubles Which Others Endure. By honest and industrious means, You'll live a life of ease, Then Let th[e] Compass be your guide, And go ehere e'er you please.
[After Robert Dighton] Printed & Sold by Carington Bowles, N.o 69 S.t Paul's Church Yard, London.
Published as the Act directs, 9 Nov. 1786.
Scarce engraving with hand colour. Framed. Image 240 x 160mm (9½ x 6¼"), frame 400 x 340mm (15¾ x 13½"). Unexamined out of frame. Some abrasions, damage and losses.
Representation of a virtuous man and standing underneath the arc of an extended pair of compasses with 'Fear God' on the cross bar, with signs of wealth at his feet. The Compass, along with the Square, is one of the great symbols of freemasonary, a pair of compasses featuring on the shield of The Worshipful Company of Masons. Being architect's tools, they symbolize God as the architect of the universe, among other things. This print is often paired with one of a woman; there were many versions of these prints produced in the late 18th century, as true English 'popular' prints they obviously served many families as an aid to the moral education of the young.
See: Ref 60540 for larger version of woman.
