# Page Description This page contains an illustration with running prose text from a Victorian penny dreadful titled "The Knight of the Road." The engraving depicts "The Entry of Dick Turpin into Newgate," showing a mounted figure surrounded by several men in period dress, apparently depicting the famous highwayman's arrival at the prison. Below the image runs dialogue and narrative prose describing characters drying garments and discussing arrangements regarding a prisoner, with mentions of Sir Marmaduke and references to paying one's own share. The page is numbered 175 at the bottom.
