Satire on a Scottish Baillie - "The Hermit's Visit to the New Jail", New Calton Jail, Edinburgh
This satirical illustration entitled "The Hermits [sic] Visit to the New Jail" shows what is assumed to be a Baillie (bearded, with top-hat and walking with a stick) holding a large key... presumably to open the jail or to lock it. The castellated building is in the background. There are posters on a wall...: "Waterloo subscription", "Self-Defence Taught", and "List of Improvements in the City and Suburbs".
In pencil below the drawing is written "Baillie Johnson, January 1817".
Satirical broadside on silk entitled "Fr_E TR_N Theatre, H_LMH_D Street", 1849
