Image description

Satire on Robert Knight (1675-1744) financier and a founder of the South Sea Company and one of the leading negotiators in the plan to incorporate the entire national debt into the company. Knight helped secure the South Sea Act by offering bribes to MPs and peers, which was revealed in 1721 when, along with other directors and company servants, he was called to answer to a parliamentary enquiry.
