Abstract:
The Hospital of Bethlem [Bedlam] at Moorfields, London; seen from the north, with ladies and gentlemen walking in the foreground. This is the second building of Bethlem Hospital, dating from 1675-6, before the addition of the side pavilions. The engraver has taken liberties with the gate statuary, showing a lion and unicorn couchant rather than the figures by Cibber of melancholy madness and raving madness. In 1814-1815 the hospital removed to St. George's Fields, Southwark, and the Moorfields building was subsequently demolished
Alternative Title:
Bedlam in Moorfields

Depicts a furious man (William Austin) on a sidewalk, shouting "Damn your foollish [sic] caricatures" as he attacks the windows of Matthias Darly's London printshop with his walking-stick. On his left arm he carries a portfolio as a shield (emblazoned with a broken anchor). From it fall papers and drawings, including a prescription (suggestive of madness) from Dr. Monrow (i.e. John Monro, physician of Bethlehem Hospital). One print in the shop window echoes the present image, while Austin's "Proposals for opening a museum of drawings" is trodden underfoot by a dog in the foreground
