The captivating 18th-century print titled "A College Scene, or a Fruitless Attempt on the Purse of Old Square-toes" takes us back to an era where education and finance intersected in amusing ways. Created by Edward Williams, this etching with stipple and softground technique showcases his artistic prowess and attention to detail. In this scene, we find ourselves immersed in a university setting filled with young men engrossed in their studies. The room is bustling with activity as students diligently pore over books while one particular gentleman catches our eye. He is none other than Old Square-toes, whose purse becomes the target of mischievous intentions. Rowlandson Thomas's masterful collaboration with John Raphael Smith brings life to this comical narrative.

Preserved within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this print continues to delight viewers today with its intricate details and witty storytelling. Edward Williams has left behind an enduring legacy through his artistry, allowing us glimpses
