Title from item.
Print depicting Christopher Atkinson (later Christopher Saville), who was pilloried for perjury outside the Corn Exchange in Mark Lane on 25 Nov. 1785, labels being pasted on the pillars of the Corn Exchange, 'Christopher Atkinson Esq; for perjury'. Cf. Curator's comments, British Museum online catalog.
Four lines of verse engraved beneath image: In the Pillory here you may View the Corn-factor, / The Perjur'd. Kit Atkin-n, alias Contractor / Ye Agents of All sorts throughout the Nation, / Now tremble for fear of the same exaltation.
"J. Corn" was a evidently pseudonym employed by the publisher E. Rich. Cf. British Museum online catalog.
Design in a circle. A man, not caricatured, stands on a circular platform, his head and hands leaning on the pillory, the upper portion of which is so raised as to prevent constriction. Behind are the heads of a crowd, in front of which and surrounding the pillory are constables holding long staves. In the background a street converges in exaggerated perspective. Cf.
