Noahs Ark improved, or an attempt to land in the teeth of the wind, Holland
Noahs Ark improved, or an attempt to land in the teeth of the wind, Holland, William, active 1782-1817, en sanguine engraving 1790, British satire on Charles Stanhopes Toleration Bill of 1789 which was an attempt to remove the yoke of religious obligations on persons seeking public office (cf.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print titled "Noah's Ark Improved, or an Attempt to Land in the Teeth of the Wind, Holland" is a captivating piece of British satire from 1790. Created by William Holland, an active artist during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, this sanguine engraving reflects the political climate surrounding Charles Stanhope's Toleration Bill of 1789. The artwork cleverly depicts Stanhope and his Ark sailing towards shore while being confronted by two bishops. These religious figures symbolize the opposition faced by Stanhope's bill, which aimed to remove religious obligations for those seeking public office. The three sacks aboard the Ark bear labels related to Penal Laws, further emphasizing the struggle against these laws. With its intricate engravement and retro-styled design, this historic artwork takes us back in time to explore a significant moment in British history. It showcases not only artistic skill but also serves as a reminder of past cultural and political movements. As we gaze upon this nostalgic image, we are transported to an era when traditional illustrative techniques were highly valued. This old-fashioned yet romantic piece invites us to reflect on our own society's progress while appreciating the rich heritage that has shaped our present-day world.
