- Abstract
-
"Four men stand in the pillory, in pairs. The arrangement is not that of the actual pillory: they stand on a cross-bar which connects two high posts, one at each side of the design, each of which supports a board, through the holes in which are thrust the heads and hands of two victims. The cross-bar is much above the level of the ground. In the centre of the design, below the cross-bar, is inset the head of Fox in an oval, on a much larger scale than the figures; he has an expression of scowling perplexity, The men in the pillory say (left to right), "I am only vexed I was not Paid before I swore"; "Little did I think of this &, Dam such pay as this"; "They Promise to keep me from Danger"; and, "Dam her Gr------e she brought me to this." Beneath the design is engraved:'These little Villains must submit to fate That great ones may enjoy the World, in State."--British Museum online catalogue
