Abstract

"Irradiated banners carried by four cherubic little boys, followed by a youth blowing a newsboy's horn, are watched by four men who register despair. They are clustered round a decayed post topped by a crown, and are 'Dr. Slop' (Stoddart) and 'Treasury scribes'. A demon (left) beckons them from a cloud. The banners are 'Times' (the largest), 'Examiner', 'Traveller' (an evening paper), and 'News' (like the 'Examiner', a Sunday paper). P. 17: Q, for the qualms that arose when they heard, Hard blows in the contest, they challenged were feared. ..."--British Museum online catalogue
