Title: The Penny Magazine, Vol. V, #257
Description: 1836 The Penny Magazine, Vol. V, #257. London: The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. Extra copy from an unknown source.

I have already listed this publication under books. I add our second copy here to make sure that people can find the illustration. The opening of this weekly magazine for Saturday, April 2, 1836, offers a large black-and-white illustration of WC and then argues that "the result of observation may be applied in a practical manner as a guide in actual life." It quotes the introduction to Gay's fables, in which a shepherd speaks to a sage about the simple knowledge he has gained from nature. It then quotes Dodsley's WC and refers to the illustration as taken from there. Sources on the web attribute the illustration to either George Cruikshank or Ernst Griset -- or might one have borrowed from the other?
