The dog & the devil!

Active selection in cart:
The dog & the devil! The interior of a conjurer's chamber, decorated with the usual paraphernalia of bats, stuffed crocodiles, &c. The empiric wears his learned robes and fur cap ; in the centre of a magic circle stands the pretended enchanter's assistant, dressed in a bullock's hide, with the horns and tail left on, to personate the Father of Evil ; a butcher, in his working dress, has called to consult the oracle concerning a missing sheep ; he has brought his bull-dog with him, unobserved by the demonstrator, and the animal, true to his instincts, has pinned the mock demon-bull by the nose. Artist/Etcher: Woodward, G. M. (George Moutard), approximately 1760-1809; Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827. Date: November 21, 1807. Sourced from Digital Commonwealth website.
