A paper doll and a paper outfit designed and painted by Zelda Fitzgerald presumably for her daughter, Scottie Fitzgerald Smith., Neither doll nor outfit has been cut out from the sheet they were painted on. Autograph of the painter on each sheet., and The doll is a male figure with green skin and white hair --perhaps from the artist's fairy tale series of paper dolls. The outfit consists of a knee-length green coat with a yellow lining. It includes a belt, cloak, gloves, and boots, all in white. Tan-colored tights complete the ensemble along with a green shako which has white spheres as decoration.
"The three Bow Street Justices sit at a rectangular table (left); Addington in the chair, the scales of Justice, evenly balanced, above his head; on his right and on the extreme left, Bond(?) is writing: 'Wright. W. against [?]...'. The third sits resting his chin on his hands, which are supported on the head of his cane; he gazes fixedly at the culprit. 'Lying-Jack' stands in a rectangular pen formed of posts and rails immediately in front of the justices, his elbows resting on the rail, his hands clasped, his knees bent, tears falling. He says: "Oh! God dang it, - your Worship, do take bail, your Honor tw'ant my fault please your Majesty, that I com'd the Black-guard over him: - God dang it, didn't he say that his thing was printed before mine? & that all my things were only Copies & piracies? - God dang it, your Worship, Ax Almon ye Bookseller if I was a Blackguard all the while I was a Porter! - or ax ye people where I & Wife kept a small-coal Cellar in Leather Lane if I'm a Blackguard! - God dang it, was I act like a Blackguard when I let that Cooper the Printer, pull me by the Nose, only for saying he was a Liar? - god dang it, your honor, was it like a Blackguard when I offer'd to beg Ridgeway's pardon, after he had kick'd my own Arse in my own Shop? - but I sees how the Booksellers all hates me! & wants to ruin me! - & says I lives by only Copying other peoples works your Worship! - 'tho' I only 'bridges 'em! - yes your Worship, they all hates me; & respires against me: & calls me Lying-Jack, your honor, - & Filching Jack the Plagurist! - & Stock'ee Jack the Informer! your honor - ah Gad dang it! Gad dang it, - they'll be my ruin your Honor! Gad dang it Gott damn. . . .[The last words dwindle into illegibility]" From his pocket hangs a paper: 'Speech of the Lord Chanr of Ireland'. Beside him, outside the dock, is a large bundle of books tied together, the wrapper inscribed 'Ways & Means'; these are: 'Sandford & Merton', 'G Nicol... Abridgd Embassy to China', 'D. Cox, Piracy', 'Harpers Pamphlet', 'Philanthropic Society'. Against the bundle lies a porter's knot (a pad for the shoulders attached to a ring which goes over the head) inscribed: 'Lying-Jack his Knot'. With this are the implements of a blacksmith : hammer, pliers, and horse-shoe. On the wall behind him are three bills: 'Lying Jack the Thief Taker'; 'Perjury'; 'Injuntion [sic] of the Court of Chancery agains Lying Jacks copy', and a map: 'Original Map of the Island of St Domingo by W. Faden. Charing Cross.'"--British Museum online catalogue, description of the print of which this drawing is a copy.
