Unequal Justice, from Litis Abusus (The Abuses of the Law)
An engraved print showing a stepped courthouse façade where robed officials confer at the top, while a helmeted guard and women in flowing dress, one bare-shouldered, move down the stairs in the foreground. A town square with buildings recedes behind, and a Latin caption runs along the lower margin.
