Abstract

"Broadside with four columns of prose and three woodcuts, one along the top with a line of 19 hanged persons, and in the centre two scenes, one of a man slitting the throat of a boy, the other of a man in prison surrounded by his weeping family."--British Museum online catalogue

"The text describes 14 different cases heard in April 1827, that resulted in the hanging of the person found guilty. None of the cases seems to have any relation to the two scenes in the woodcuts."--Curator's comments, British Museum online catalogue
