# The Knight of the Road, No. 181 This page combines an engraved illustration with serialized prose narrative. The illustration, captioned "The Highwaymen and Tom Davis are Alarmed at the Knocking at the Door," depicts several figures in a room reacting to an apparent disturbance. The text below describes Mr. Bradbury's emotional response to receiving a letter from the Governor regarding the prisoner Dick Turpin, and his subsequent examination of the letter's contents, which appears to authorize Turpin's release. The page concludes mid-narrative. Published as penny dreadful No. 181 at one halfpenny.
