A man covered with a shaggy skin, with bull's horns, stands in a circle, impersonating the Devil. A butcher cheers on his dog who is worrying the pseudo-Devil, while the conjurer (left), wearing robes and a fur cap, stands behind, in angry alarm. A stuffed crocodile, celestial globe, &c, decorate the room. An inscription relates at length that the butcher has gone to consult the conjurer about some lost sheep, when his dog springs at the 'Devil', thinking it is a bull; he detects the cheat and refuses to call off his dog. The prose narrative ends: 'so Dog against Devil, for what sum you please!'."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Printmaker from British Museum catalogue.Twelve lines of text below title: A butcher once had lost some sheep, & to discover the thief, went to a reputed conjurer ...Plate numbered "Z 2" in upper right corner.Plate from: Woodward, G.M.
