An exact copy of a bill for the sum of ten shillings & ten pence sent by a bricklayer to a gentleman for whom he had worked (the bricklayer could not write). [art original]

A copy of an illiterate bricklayer's bill that was written with pictographs; the artist included a narrative description of its meaning below the image. The pictographs included three different sized stick-figures (two men and one boy), a four-square grid with three of the four squares filled with dots (three quarters of a day), two "Y" shaped symbols (hods of mortar), two "X" shaped symbols (10 shillings & 10 pence), and a sketch of a hanged man (a settled bill).
