About this work
An engraved print shows a crowd of rioters in a street before a brick prison building with arched gateways, while flames and thick smoke pour from its windows. Scattered furniture and debris lie on the ground as men wave axes, tools and flags. The print is credited to William Hamilton and dated 1780, recording the destruction of Newgate prison and the burning of Mr Akerman's furniture.
