Légende

An adaptation of an engraving by Hogarth illustrating an episode in Samuel Butler's Hudibras with the legend "Hudibras beats Sidrophel and his man Whacum." The scene is filled with details of the alchemical and occult works performed there. A globe, map, and tools of navigation and astronomical observation on the floor. A stuffed crocodile, a swordfish, a turtle, and other creatures hang from the ceiling. To the upper left hangs a human skeleton with an owl on its shoulder, a reminder of the spectre of death.
