English: Title: Licensed wreckers - in the hands of the receivers
Abstract: Print shows a ship labeled "Wrecked Corporation" and "Insurance Co. Bankrupt" that has wrecked on rocks with a darkened lighthouse labeled "Trust" and "Justice" nearby; its light has been snuffed by "Judge" and "Corruption". Victims of the wreck, some clinging to the ship, others in the water, are labeled "Policy Holder" and "Pillaged Policy Holder". A rope from the ship to shore is held by a "Receiver", a "Lawyer", and a "Shore Shark", and is coiled around a money bag labeled "Fee". Another "Lawyer", using a gaff, reaches for a barrel labeled "Fees" that bobs in the water near the ship. Standing near the lighthouse is a man labeled "Referee" who is holding a pan labeled "False Beacon" that spews illuminated smoke labeled "By Order of the Court"; he burns papers labeled "Waste, Outrageous Extravagance, Extortion, [and] Cost".
