A hand-coloured satirical print of an elderly man who stoops to unlock a huge padlock to his house. His cane rests against the door as he fumbles with the oversized lock. Next to him stands a black servant carrying a basket of poultry on his head. His turned head draws our attention to the background where an army officer, undeterred by the lock, is helping a young woman to elope from an open window. Inscribed in the plate: 'Design[e]d and Pub[lish]d by T Rowlandson N1 James Street Adelphi Aug 20 1811'. Description from Royal Collection Trust.
