Depicting a scene from "Oliver Twist" by "Boz", a.k.a. Charles Dickens. This illustration marks the meeting of Oliver's old nemesis, the spindly-legged Noah Claypole (who has robbed Sowerberry's till and fled to London with the Sowerberrys' maid, Charlotte) and Fagin, who has made his temporary headquarters at the disreputable public house known as The Three Cripples.
