Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Description of Several Pictures: Presented to the Corporation of the City of London The Pictures marked thus aretnaved and those narked with a fare engraving Four Angles Under The Cupola.1. Providence- 2 2.Innocence, or Infancy and Youth- 3 3.Wisdom - - - 6 4.Happiness - 7 5.Conjugal AfFection, or Industry andTrudence % 9 N.B. The above five Pictures will be ensraved, if the Public think the subjects worthy of their patronage; they are at present painted in a triangular form, under the Cupola: but Specimens will in a short time be exhibited at No.90, Cheapside, and at the Shakspeare Gallery, Pali-Mall, of the Additions made to the above Pictures, in order to make them an upright square. Reasons for introducing the Picture of Conjugal Affection. No person, accustomed to act as a magistrate, can be a stranger to the disagreements subsisting between man and wife: their rancour and ill-will towards each other often carry them to such lengths, as must endanger their present and future happiness. That institution, which was intended for their mutual comfort and satisfaction, is too often, through their own imprudence, the cause of their greatest misfortune. How particularly careful then ought the parties to be in fixing their choice, where there is a reasonable prospect of their being happy with each other! Instead of this, it is too often found, that they are influenced by improper motives, after a very short and slight acquaintance, to run the risk of being miserable during the remainder of their Jives. If attention is paid to the above Picture, and to the four preceding ones, and if a strong resolution to promote each others happiness is formed in the mind of each party, they will both be induced to avoid all strife and contention, except on one subject only, viz. whether of them shall be most forward to contribute to the satisfaction and contentment of the other.
