A portrait of Daniel Malden, burglar and street robber, in handcuffs. Sentenced to hang at Newgate, he twice broke out of the condemned cell, the second time succeeding at getting out of the prison in June 1736.

Stanton, was a distiller before the 1736 'Act for Laying a Duty upon the Retailers of Spirituous Liquors and Licensing the Retailers thereof' drove him out of business. He started publishing his 'Distillers Universal Magazine' the same year. Published every Saturday, 10 numbers are known to have been issued, but interest was not great, prompting him to issue premium prints such as this as lures.

Maria F. Malibran. [Ink:] We have observed her in different points of view: we have seen her exalted on the dangerous pinnacle of worldly prosperity, surrounded by fawning and flattering friends, and an admiring world. We have seen her marked out by prejudice as an object of dislike. We have seen her bowed down by pain and bodily weakness; but never did we see her forget the urbanity of her sex, her conscious dignity as a rational creature, or a fervent aspiration after the highest degree of attainable perfection. We have seen her on the bed of sickness, enduring pain with the patience of a Christian, with the firm belief that the afflictions of this life are but for a moment!

Fine engraving, platemark 355 x 270mm (14 x 10½"). Trimmed to platemark on left; glued to album sheet at corners.
Scene in trompe l'oeil border showing a mischievous boy with his weapons (a blowpipe and balls), with verses below warning him that one day the arrows of love will injure him in the same way. Engraved after François Eisen (c.1695-1778), painter who specialised in such genre pictures in a light-hearted Flemish manner. Eisen's son Charles was also a notable artist, hence the need to identify Eisen as 'Pater' [father] on this print. Part of a series of prints in this format after paintings by Eisen, with texts focusing on love, beauty and deception (in particular compare ref.44945, 'Le beau Commissaire').
