Swearing to the cutting monster, or, A scene in Bow Street [graphic].Gillray, James, 1756-1815, printmaker[20 May 1790]eng"A young woman stands upon a high stool, her skirts raised to show her posteriors to three men (half length) behind her. She bends forward, pointing to Charles Fox who stands with his hands handcuffed in a booth or box behind a bar. Fox has an enormous head and an expression of terrified dismay at the denunciation. Behind him is a man in profile holding a constable's staff. The three men are evidently Bow Street Justices (Sir Sampson Wright, Addington, and Bond); the principal magistrate (Wright) wears a hat and spectacles and is much caricatured (cf. British Museum Satires Nos. 6119-21). Above their heads are the evenly balanced scales of Justice. In front of the woman stands a clerk (half length) meditatively biting his pen."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched at bottom of image.Printmaker from British Museum catalogue.Temporary local Medical Library subject terms: Bond -- Crime.Watermark: S.
