Item description from seller

43.5x54.5 cm. Uncolored engraving in fair condition. Frayed and soiled at edges, bottom edge trimmed close, short tear at top of center fold into image, other short tears into edges have earlier mends. A restorable copy of a famous print, published on June 1, 1803 by G & J Robinson, depicting several members of the House of Commons, including James Oglethorpe and Archibald Grant, gathered in a room at the Fleet Prison for an investigation of Thomas Bambridge, warden of the prison, for the brutal treatment of prisoners, one of whom is shown at center wearing a punishment device, known as the collar, that fits around the neck and one or both hands. Another device, known as the sheers, is held by Grant, and another device, known as the skull cap, is held by Oglethorpe and two other committee members. Bambridge was subsequently tried at the Old Bailey for the murder of a prisoner and was acquitted.
