Identifier: Coll-1714
Scope and Contents
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".
