On his left arm he carries a portfolio as a shield (emblazoned with a broken anchor). From it fall papers and drawings, including a prescription (suggestive of madness) from Dr. Monrow (i.e. John Monro, physician of Bethlehem Hospital). One print in the shop window echoes the present image, while Austin's "Proposals for opening a museum of drawings" is trodden underfoot by a dog in the foreground</dc:description><dc:description>Title etched below text.</dc:description><dc:description>Text beneath image: "Be it known to all men that I -- upon just cause before God and men do declare &amp; pronounce war with and against all and every printshop and printseller within and without the city of London...."</dc:description><dc:description>Text on shield is a quote from John Gay's My own epitaph: Life's a jest and all things show it.
