Note that the emblem at the top is Wild's own imprint, showing him in cloth cap and bearing a mace as a symbol of policing. The main illustration bears the emblems of Death (left) and the Grave (right), surmounted by devices of imprisonment. Between Death and the Grave is a small casket. The text invites all criminals, and then ladies and gentlemen, to walk with their friend I--- W--d to the "triple tree," which was Tyburn. The gallows there were a simple L-shaped beams arranged with three together. |
