The King's Bench Prison was a situated in Southwark, south London, England, from medieval times until it closed in 1880. It took its name from the King's Bench court of law in which cases of defamation, bankruptcy and other misdemeanours were heard; as such, the prison was often used as a debtor's prison until the practice was abolished in the 1860s. In 1842, it was renamed the Queen's Prison, and later became the Southwark Convict Prison. A game of rackets is taking place on left.

The courtyard of the King's Bench Prison in St George's Fields, Southwark, London, with inmates playing a game of rackets on the far left. The prison, which took its name from the King's Bench court of law in which cases of defamation, bankruptcy and other misdemeanours were heard, was mainly occupied by debtors, some of the most famous of whom included King Theodore I of Corsica and Tobias Smollett. In 1768 the imprisonment of John Wilkes (for libel) triggered riots in which several people were killed. This building was burnt to the ground in the 1780 Gordon Riots, and quickly rebuilt. By the time this print was made, the prison had become notorious for the laxity of its rules (an 1828 description would call it 'the most desirable place of incarceration in London' and by that time there were thirty gin shops and a host of trades being practiced in the courtyard). The prison was demolished in 1880. Published in Ackermann's famous work, the 'Microcosm of London', which probably selected the prison to depict because of its comparative comfort. The figures were drawn by the famous caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson and the architecture by Augustus Pugin.

From "The Adventures of Johnny Newcome in the Navy" by John Mitford (1782-1831) was a British naval officer, poet and journalist.

He embarks on HMS Capricorn at Sheerness and, under the good captain Dale his career prospers, but in Jamaica yellow fever strikes the ship, Captain Dale dies and is replaced by the bullying Captain Teak, and Johnny regretfully leaves the navy.

Miseries of Human Life:
Miseries of Human Life: Designed and Etched by T. Rowlandson and Published December 1 1808 by R. Ackermann, Repository of Arts, 101 Strand, London.
[n.d., 1808, First Edition, early issue.]
4to, original half morocco, with printed paper title label on front board; 50 etchings, as called for, with wonderfully fresh colour and large margins; plates watermarked 'J Whatman 1804' (1), 'J Whatman 1805 (3, including 'Pall Mall'); 'J Whatman 1806' (3), and 'John Hall 1805' (11). Hinges cracked, front board nearly detached. 'Miseries of Human Life Introductory Dialogue' with stain; 'Miseries of Social Life Dialogue 7' with repaired tear.
An extremely rare early example of the complete series by Thomas Rowlandson, inspired by 'The Miseries of Human Life' by James Beresford (1764-1840), published in 1806. Rowlandson began drawing scenes as soon as the book was published and, after two years, fifty were selected by Ackermann to be published in a new edition. Contents of the book vary widely, with some plates replaced. The iconic scenes and characters from this series, some of which were Rowlandson's own invention while others closely mirror Beresford's text, reappeared frequently under variations of the 'Miseries' title, right up until the artist's death.

Woodward Del. Rowlandson scul.
[n.d., c.1808.]
Hand-coloured etching. 245 x 350mm (9½ x 13¾''). Time stained.
A satirical scene in Birdcage Walk, Westminster, with John Bull in conversation with a group of men. 'Oddfellows' were members of a society established to join 'ordinary' people together to improve their situation. This satire suggests they had little to choose between the 'Ins' and the 'Outs', parties that were plunderers of the public when in office.
