Unequal Justice, plate 4 from The Abuses of the Law
An engraving showing a stone staircase leading to a columned building, where a robed official and men in plumed caps gather at a doorway while a bearded man in a cap carries a sack down the steps. Women in flowing dresses and a helmeted figure approach from the right, against a townscape of buildings and a distant tower. Latin and Dutch verses are printed in the lower margin.
