Abstract:

"Scene at a conjurer's. A man covered with a shaggy skin, with bull's horns, stands in a circle, impersonating the Devil. A butcher cheers on his dog who is worrying the pseudo-Devil, while the conjurer (left), wearing robes and a fur cap, stands behind, in angry alarm. A stuffed crocodile, celestial globe, &c, decorate the room. An inscription relates at length that the butcher has gone to consult the conjurer about some lost sheep, when his dog springs at the 'Devil', thinking it is a bull; he detects the cheat and refuses to call off his dog. The prose narrative ends: 'so Dog against Devil, for what sum you please!'."--British Museum online catalogue.
