Change Alley! Sketch 1 Waddling In!, 20 July 1799

Scope and Contents

This print was issued as a pair with Waddling Out! and belongs to a series that Woodward centered on city businessmen. Here, a portly man heads into the stock exchange (identified by lettering over the door), with posters at right advertizing 'New Loan Omnium' and the 'Irish Lottery.' A building in the background houses 'Hazard and Goodluck's Lottery Office,' and a man whose hat is lettered 'Great News' blows a trumpet. The image suggests an environment that encourages investors to borrow. Inscription: in plate above image center: 'Change Alley!! Sketch 1.'; below image left: 'Woodward Delin'; center: '1799 July 20. Pub-d by R Ackermann No. 101 Strand'; right: 'Etched by Rowlandson'; below image center: 'WADDLING IN!'. Description from the Metropolitan Museum, New York.
