"A London night-scene. A fashionably dressed man wearing top-boots is chased (right to left) by two police officers holding bludgeons. One holds a pair of hand-cuffs. The pavement is backed by a high stone wall topped by trees. On the wall, by a projecting lamp, are three superimposed bills: Burglary; £200 Reward Felony; Murder, Reward 100 Guineas. There is a full moon."--British Museum online catalogue
