The turnkey, keys in hand, accepts with wary enjoyment the blandishments of a pretty young woman, whose interest is clearly in the fate of a handsome youth seen through the bars above a padlocked barrier on the right. A grotesquely obese and misshapen man (right) approaches the turnkey with a jug and frothing glass. Behind the latter (left) is a table with a shoulder of mutton and a small cask. A cat plays amicably with a dog. Heavy fetters hang from the walls, and there is a heavily barred door; a vaulted recess leads to a second dungeon. The place is lit by hanging lamps."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state</dc:description><dc:description>Title etched below image.</dc:description><dc:description>Reissue; date has been burnished from imprint statement, leaving a gap between "Pubd." and "by Thos.
