About this work

This pen-and-ink etching by Thomas Rowlandson, published in 1789, presents two stacked satirical scenes. The upper panel shows figures in 18th-century dress brandishing an axe, spear and pistols against a group of men, while the lower panel depicts a row of chained, gesturing patients labelled as incurables in a hospital for lunatics.
