Not to be confused with the 18th-century family of artists of the same name, Nicolas Cochin was born in Troyes and began his artistic career as a painter on glass. He soon discovered the prints of Stefano della Bella and Jacques Callot and devoted his talents to making copies of these and the work of other masters. His earliest prints were made in Troyes in June 1635, but by 1636 he was established in Paris. This view of the Lorraine, which was under siege. by the French in 1631, may be a liberal adaptation of a work such as the adjacent print by Gabriel Pérelle, which was also inspired by the more renowned artist Jacques Callot.

The prints from the original album have the range 22.73.3-1–22.73.3-161.

In this fourth print of a group of eight, a university tutor quizzes a student on Euclid—finding the latter unprepared after a night of partying. The student holds his head and sips a tonic as a young woman peeps out from a cupboard and male friends look around a bedroom door. Prints on the wall that depict a nude and horserace point to the student's true interests, while a caricature of his tutor demonstrates his lack of respect for authority. Rowlandson etched this set after drawings by Willyams, a university-educated lieutenant-colonel from Cornwall who also supplied supporting satirical text under the pseudonym Joel McCringer. Rowlandson's characteristic elegance does not disguise the dark human impulses being satirized. Modern education, it is suggested, does little to teach self-control, wisdom or empathy.

Born into a distinguished family of scientists and statisticians, Bertillon began his career as a clerk in the Identification Bureau of the Paris Prefecture of Police in 1879. Tasked with maintaining reliable police records of offenders, he developed the first modern system of police identification. The system, which became known as Bertillonage, had three components: anthropometric measurement, precise verbal description of the prisoner’s physical characteristics, and standardized photographs of the face. In the early 1890s Paris was subject to a wave of bombings and assassination attempts carried out by anarchist proponents of "propaganda of the deed." One of Bertillon’s greatest successes came in March 1892, when his system of identification led to the arrest of an anarchist bomber who went by the name Ravachol (2005.100.375.348). The publicity surrounding the case earned Bertillon the Legion of Honor and encouraged police departments around the world to adopt his anthropometric system.
