Jack Sheppard: Mrs Sheppard expostulating with her son
Jack Sheppard is a novel by William Harrison Ainsworth which was published in serial form in Bentley's Miscellany from 1839-40 with illustrations by George Cruikshank. It is derived from a true-life story of an eighteenth-century criminal who escaped from prison four times before being caught and hanged. It ran at the same time as Oliver Twist.
The etching shows Mrs Sheppard arguing with her son.
