1 ene 1858 año - 'Past and present, No. 3' by Augustus Leopold Egg

Descripción:

- shelters a young child, clearly the result of the adulterous affair which is now over
- clearly contemplating suicide

- draws attention to the two playbills by giving extra details of the playwrights' names AND the theatrical composition of the painting eg. framing of the bridge arch
- 'A Cure for Love' and 'Victims' - surprisingly both comedies, but their subject matter is serious - each depicts people trapped in unhappy marriages

- Parry - 'A Cure for Love' was little known in his day
- overarching theme was 'marriage for the wrong reasons' as a cause of strife

- Taylor - 'Victims' was more blatant in its depiction of marital problems
