Exaltation of Faros daughters, 1796

Exaltation of Faros daughters, 1796. Albinia, Countess of Buckinghamshire (left) and Lady Archer are ridiculed in the stocks, as the mob throw rotten vegetables at them. Below, a notice reads: Cure for Gambling, published by Lord Kenyon in the Court of Kings Bench. Lord Chief Justice Lord Kenyon had proclaimed: If any prosecutions [against gambling] are fairly brought before me and the parties are justly convicted, whatever may be their rank or station in the country, though they should be the first ladies in the land, they shall certainly exhibit themselves in the Pillory. The two women had been reported to the authorities for playing the illegal game of faro, and were fined. Illustration from Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century... With over two hundred illustrations by George Paston [pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds], (London, 1905)
