Description: | Rosina is the bad-tempered seven-year-old shown here with her disappointed mother. The mother offers Rosina the key to a toy cupboard which is only to be opened by a little girl who is well-behaved. Rosina examines her recent behaviour, and full of remorse, soon reverts to her charming sweet self. The engraving is taken from Jane Bewick's copy of 'The Looking Glass of the Mind' (1792) with 74 engravings designed and engraved by John Bewick, younger brother of Thomas. 'Froward' (i.e. 'forward') is a misprint in the book. The mother's hat which was fashionable in Bewick's time, was known as the 'Rosina' hat. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1792 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | John Bewick | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
