A black and white engraving by H. Dawe of a painting by T. Lane. A startled man stands in his doorway with candle and gun in hand at the sight of a mangey old horse tied to the doorknocker, staring him in the face. The two pranksters are around the corner, in the shadows, to the left. The strong contrast between light and dark acts to direct one's attention as well as add to the emotional quality.
