"A copy by Rowlandson after the 1774 Bunbury print, 'The hopes of the family - an admission at the university', a satire on a socially aspirational family: a youth is being examined by a tutor for admission to Cambridge university; the tutor, in academic robes, is seated at a table pointing at a large volume resting beside a globe; the youth stands counting on his fingers while his eager father, wearing countryman's boots, urges him on; on the left a woman, probably the tutor's housekeeper, holds two further volumes, and on the right an elegant undergraduate stands smiling; on the wall behind are portraits of "Dr Allcock" and a woman, a Roman bust with turned down mouth on the lintel above the door, and a frame with the plan and elevation of a building."--British Museum online catalogue
