title: A Trifling Mistake!!

date: 1800-1810

description: John Cam Hobhouse sits in a prison cell twiddling his thumbs. He wears the clothes of a dandy with his feet resting on the rail of his chair. A tankard and pipe are on the table in front of him while writing materials including ink-splashed paper are on the ground beside a mouse trap. He faces an empty grate which has two prints above it. A man dangling from a gibbet is scrawled on the wall and on the mantelshelf are a teapot and cup. On the wall is a large sign. Shackles decorate a barred window and the door is a small grated entrance.
