The political rat catcher, or, Jack Renegado's new patent trap's [graphic]Collings, Samuel, printmaker[27 February 1784]engSitting in the open door to a shabby-looking room, John Robinson, former Secretary to the Treasury, watches rats with human bodies crawl on their hands and knees toward traps that offer political or personal advancement. His identity is revealed by a partially visible portrait, signed, "Robinson Crusoe," hanging above the doorway. On the walls hang an unframed portrait of William III partially concealed by a huge spider-web, a framed portrait of Charles I, and a tattered document inscribed, "Magna Charta in fine preservation."Title from item.Printmaker from British Museum catalogue.Sheet trimmed mostly within plate mark.
