"A Lesson Westward or a Morning Visit to Betty Cole Hammersmith Turnpike" is a satirical print by the English artist Robert Dighton (1752–1814), who was known for his caricatures and social commentary through art during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This particular work is a testament to Dighton's keen observation of social behaviors and his ability to infuse humor into his depictions of everyday life in Georgian England.

The print portrays a scene at the Hammersmith Turnpike, a toll gate located in the western part of London, where travelers would have to pay a fee to pass. The central figure in the artwork is Betty Cole, who was presumably the tollgate keeper or a notable personality associated with the location. The title suggests that the print illustrates a morning visit to her at the turnpike, hinting at the daily interactions and activities that would occur in such a setting.

Dighton's work often included caricatures of well-known figures of his time, as well as scenes of urban life that highlighted the quirks and follies of society. "A Lesson Westward or a Morning Visit to Betty Cole Hammersmith Turnpike" likely follows this tradition, offering a glimpse into the social dynamics and characters found in the bustling environment of London's streets and the emerging urban culture.

The print is reflective of the artist's style, characterized by a combination of realism and exaggerated features, which served to both amuse and critique the subjects he portrayed. As with many of Dighton's pieces, this work would have been accessible to the public, sold in print shops, and displayed in homes and public spaces, contributing to the popular culture of the time.

Robert Dighton's contributions to the art of caricature and his influence on the genre are recognized through his prolific output and the continued interest in his works. "A Lesson Westward or a Morning Visit to Betty Cole Hammersmith Turnpike" remains an example of his artistic legacy and provides insight into the social landscape of Georgian London.
