description

Summary

A design in five compartments, each occupied by a figure in profile to the right. Above each is an inscription. On the extreme left is a parson preaching from a pulpit; the head of the precentor appears in his desk beneath. Inscribed: 'I pray for all'. Next an advocate in his gown, his right hand raised: 'I plead for all'. Next a corpulent well-dressed man, holding up a sickle in his right hand: 'I maintain all'. Next is a still more corpulent military officer with a drawn sword: 'I fight for all'. Next is the Devil, prancing among flames, his talons extended: 'I take all'. 1788
