About this work

A lithograph in tonal grey wash shows a small rat dashing from a stone floor toward a hole while a chained dog lunges after it, with two caricatured human faces looking on. A column is inscribed 'H. of Lords' and a basket labelled 'Monster Indictment' sits at the right. The print is catalogued as John Doyle's work from 1844 to 1847, after a Forbes picture.
