Inscription
Lettered 'A Perspective View of the Foundling Hospital with Emblematic Figures.', 'Myriads of Proselites sustain thy Cause, / Throng to thy Altars and obey thy Laws; / From hence, fair Venus, spring those sweet Supplys / To fill the Mansions which to thee arise / These Mansions rais'd by Patrons kind & great, / Where Babes deserted find a safe Retreat. / Tho Frenchmen sneer, their boasted first Design, / Brittish Benevolence shall far outshine.', 'To his Grace John Duke of Bedford, this Plate is humbly Inscrib'd by his Graces most Dutiful and Obedient Servant Margrett Granville'
