Description
English: Title: Patrick Lyon, who suffered three months severe imprisonment on merely a vague suspicion for the internal robbery of the Bank of Pennsylvania

Abstract: Portrait of the Philadelphia blacksmith and locksmith who became a well-known victim of judicial injustice.

Here he is shown seated in a prison cell, holding a draftsman's compass and a drawing. The print served as frontispiece to the book "The True Narrative of Patrick Lyon ..." (Philadelphia, Printed by Francis and Robert Bailey, 1799). The book's introduction contains a plea for equal justice for rich and poor alike in the United States. Physical description: 1 print on wove paper : engraving ; sheet 18.8 x 13.3 cm.
