- Abstract
-
A medley of engraved representations of several prints laid on top of others. The largest print, at the bottom of the pile, and so partially obscured, is a portrait of "Sir Samuel Shamke, Kt. and High Churchman of [the] city of London." He is surrounded by the four knaves from a set of playing cards and a picture of an ass. Four other prints on top of the portrait are: "Tory Tom and his mistress a carouseing", "A blind Tory leading his blind brother", "Jack Highchurch in the stocks", and "A Tory's sneaking submission to a Whig". The title of this print comes from the fifth print in lower left
