- Abstract:
- A scene in a room: Justice Henry Fielding stans in a circle drawn on the floor, the scales of 'Astrea' in his pocket, his hand supported on the sword of Justice. Also in the circle as if to protect them from witchcraft are the Lord Mayor Sir Crisp Gascoyne, his state collar round his neck, and "Dr." John Hill, the clyster-pipe of 'Galen' in his pocket; the latter points to the gypsy Mary Squires whose cause he advocated. Fielding points to Elizabeth Canning with an attendent(?) behind, whose story he eagerly defended. Two pictures hanging on the wall amplify the subject of the print: on the left, a view of the Mansion House, London, then recently erected; and on the right, a view of the Old College of Physicians, comprising a mortar, a dried and stuffed skin of a crocodile, a human skeleton, and a stuffed ostrich. Between the pictures hangs the regalia of the City of London. Centered on the ground is a bottle labelled 'Another bottle' alluding to the 'Bottle-Conjurer' (See British Museum satire 'The magician' no 3022).
