Scope and content

Illustration originally accompanying an article titled 'English as she will be spoken' by Alan Howarth about cautionary lessons for Gillian Shephard's plan to enlist British people in encouraging better use of the English language, which appeared in the 15 October 1994 edition of the Guardian. The drawing depicts a figure beside a speech bubble-shaped blackboard with illegible white chalk scribbles written on it; a hand holding a pointer directed at the board enters from the top left corner, guiding the figure on the right. Includes newspaper cutting.
