A schoolroom with animals as teachers and pupils. Engraving by Toms after E. Heemskerck.
Unknown artist
Lettering: Thus many senseless flogging fools, Are teachers of our modern schooles; Tho' void of learning, wit or parts, Presume to teach the lib'ral arts: Strange! tht such asses should bestow On others more than yet they know: And such the madness of mankind, We're fond of fools, to merit blind. E. Heermskerk invt. et pinxt. Toms sculpt.
