"March of Intellect No 2" is a satirical print created by British artist William Heath, dating back to the early 19th century, specifically around 1829. This work is part of a series that humorously critiques the "March of Intellect" movement, a term used during the 1820s and 1830s in Britain to mock the period's rapid advancements and societal changes, particularly in technology, education, and literature. Heath, known for his political and social satire, employs a detailed and exaggerated visual style to depict the anxieties and absurdities perceived by some as a result of these rapid advancements.

The print showcases a chaotic and futuristic vision of London, teeming with absurd inventions and modes of transport, such as steam-powered flying houses, horseless carriages, and other fantastical machinery, illustrating the public's mixed feelings of awe and fear towards the pace of progress. Heath's work captures the essence of the era's optimism and skepticism, making it a valuable document for understanding the cultural and social sentiments of early 19th-century Britain.

"March of Intellect No 2" not only serves as a critical commentary on the technological and educational advancements of the time but also reflects the broader historical context of the Industrial Revolution and its impact on British society. Through his satirical lens, Heath invites viewers to consider the potential consequences of unchecked intellectual progress, making his work resonate with audiences even beyond his time.

As part of William Heath's broader oeuvre, "March of Intellect No 2" contributes to our understanding of the artist as a keen observer of societal changes and a critical voice in the discourse on progress and modernity. The print remains an important piece for scholars and enthusiasts of British art, satire, and history, offering insights into the complexities of the early 19th-century zeitgeist.
