A woodcut of a family gathering for a meal, ostensibly related to the story about the spendthrift saved from his deal with the devil by roger bacon. Who, however, had no family. "the gentleman upon this, living a temperate frugal life, grew very rich, and leaving no issue behind him, bequeathed his estate to brazen-nose college, because friar bacon, a member of it, had delivered him from so great and imminent danger" (p. 16). Date: 1802.
