Dealer Notes

This caricature satirises the issue of corruption in high office, depicting the Governor of the Middlesex House of Correction, Aris, throwing down two large keys onto the table at which sit and stand four men accusing him of bribery and corruption in the case of an escaped convict, standing at his side after being recaptured. Aris raises a cautionary finger as he warns the panel that such talk of ‘Vice or Bribe’ could cause embarrassment to many courtiers who might assume it was they to whom such accusations were being made.
