In this scene from the first part of the story, the Christain, the protagonist of the allegory, is directed towards the 'Wicket Gate' in the distance by the Evangelist, who points towards a shining light. The Evangelist holds a piece if paper inscribed, 'Fly from the Wrath to come'.

Extraordinary Effects of Morrisons Vegetable Pills. Grant's Oddities No 1.
CJG [Charles Jameson Grant] Invent et del.
London Pub by J. Kendrick 54 Leicester Squ.e ... 1834.
Rare coloured lithograph. Sheet 295 x 285mm (11½ z 11¼") Slight soiling.
A former cripple claims that after taking the pills his legs regrew overnight, so recommends them to his friend with his legs amputated above the knees. James Morison (1770-1840), not Morrison as here, sold his 'Hygeian Vegetable Universal Medicine' as a would-be cure-all. His success allowed him to open the 'British College of Health', which expunded his theory that ''all maladies arise from impurity of the blood''. His pills, made up of aloes, jalap, gamboges, colocynth, cream of tartar, myrrh, and rhubarb, were merely laxative. The founding editor of The Lancet, Thomas Wakley, spent over a decade trying to discredit Morison’s theories. In 1836 apothecary Robert Salmon was indicted for the manslaughter of John M'Kenzie by administering large quantities of Morison's pills. Grant's Oddities contained another satire, showing a grocer who had taken the pills growing vegetables from his head and limbs.

Christopher Pinchbeck the younger (1709/10 - 1783), clockmaker and inventor, son of the clockmaker of the same name, holding in his right hand a conical vessel.

Trades interest. From 'Caricatures, Macaronies & Characters, published by MDarly', in an album of caricatures published by Mary Darly dated January 1776.

Mezzotint, 355 x 255mm (14 x 10"), with margins. Glued onto huge backing sheet on left side.
A half-length portrait of engraver and publisher John Pine (1690-1756) in the style of Rembrandt, hands resting on a walking stick. He is best known for his book illustrating the Spanish Armada tapestries once in the House of Lords; helping prepare the first map of the colony of Georgia; and publishing Rocque's 24-sheet map of London. Pine was a friend of William Hogarth. Besides this portrait (now in the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, Fredericton, New Brunswick), Hogarth also included him as the Fat Friar in his engraving 'The Calais Gate' (1749), which earned him the nickname Friar Pine. This plate is attributed to McArdell because of the similarity to his oval mezzotint of the same subject. See CS: McArdell 143; Goodwin (McArdell) 151 (variant); O'D 2. Ex: collection of The Hon. Christopher Lennox-Boyd.
