A Brace of Public Guardians
Thomas Rowlandson|Rudolph Ackermann, London
July 10, 1800 · Hand-colored etching · Drawings and Prints
Two images on one plate. At left, a judge declaims looking upward while a desperate man bribes a figure sitting at a table below. At right a night watchman goes on his rounds blindly with lantern and rattle, not seeing two burglars entering a house behind and an officer embracing a woman in a sentry box at right.
