Debtor and Creditor. Seizure of Goods for a Debt 

"Debtor and Creditor. Seizure of Goods for a Debt" is a humorous black and white illustration by John Leech, a British cartoonist renowned for his work in the 19th century. This particular illustration depicts a scene of a creditor, accompanied by a bailiff, seizing the goods of a hapless debtor. The creditor, dressed in a toga and holding a staff, points towards the retreating debtor, who is struggling to carry away his possessions. The use of Roman attire creates a satirical juxtaposition, highlighting the absurdity of the situation and the harsh realities of debt collection in Victorian England. Leech's keen eye for social commentary and his distinctive style of caricature made him a prominent figure in the world of 19th-century British art.
