A companion print to British Museum satire no. 6878: The country justice. Inside a watch-house, a burly watchman stands (left) facing an elderly constable who sits frowning in his arm-chair. He holds out a broken lantern and points to a thin, fashionably dressed, and apparently drunken man who stands beside him with closed eyes, holding a large stick in his left hand. Next to the constable is a clerk writing at a desk with a slanted top. The room is lit by a lantern slung from the roof. A map on the wall apparently represents the roads of the parish and the beats of the watchmen. A fire burns in a grate (right).
Description:
Title engraved below image., Eight lines of verse below title: "Watchman. This wicked dog did lift his hand, First knocked me down, then bid me stand; The peaceful neighbours he awoke, And then the Knave my lanthorn broke, At which the Villain loud did Laugh, So down I knock'd him with my staff. "Constable: If so: you Justice did yourself, Therefore begone thou prating Elf.", Originally published July 10, 1785. Cf. British Museum catalogue no. 6879., Sheet trimmed within plate mark., and Watermark: fleur-de-lis on a shield with initials G R below.

Caption title., Printed in two columns with a woodcut at the head of each column, and playing cards surrounding text., Text begins: The serjeant commanded his party to the church, and when the parson had ended his prayer, he took his text; and all of them that had a Bible pulled it out to find the text, but this soldier had neither Bible, almanack, nor common prayer book, but he put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a pack of cards, and spread them before him as he sat, and while the parson was preaching he first kept looking at one card and then at another., Undated; James Catnach was active at this address from 1813 until his retirement in 1838; see Hindley, C. The history of the Catnach Press ..., 1886. Queen Victoria is mentioned in the text: "And also of Queen Victoria, to pray for her.", so the printing date must be after her accession in 1837., and For further information, consult library staff.
