Description:
Title from item., Date and place of publication from item., Description from British Museum website: A broadside satire on the quack Richard Rock shown standing on the foot board of his chaise in Covent Garden; the horse, somewhat cross-eyed, standing quietly. He is finely dressed and holds a cup in one hand. His medicine chest stands open behind him, and his hat hangs inside the hood of the chaise. To the right of the chaise is a hunchbacked (?) man, possibly Rock's assistant, or toady, under whose arm is a package of books lettered "Dr. Rock 52 ways f[ro]m Ratlife" . Among the the crowd gathered around Rock are, on the left, two soldiers, one with a sword and wearing spatterdashes who may be intended as a blind man, has his hand on the shoulder of a bald man who holds his hat in his hand, gazing distractedly at Rock; behind Rock is a man apparently on horseback; on the right, a pregnant gin seller who has a large open basket slung from her waist in which are glasses and wicker bottles, the basket is lettered "S[an]d[y]'s Public spirit" (a reference to the recent Act of Parliament relaxing the law against gin), a another poorly clad woman with a large fish (?) basket resting against her leg, and a man offering a coin to Rock. To the right of the chaise can be seen the pillar with a sun-dial and globe which stood in Covent Garden market. Below, letterpress text satirising Rock with allusions to contemporary political affairs, including a probable reference to George II's frequent visits to Hanover, described as "an itch for Rambling"., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.
