Description: The caption reads: "The Nativity of a dumb Lunatic and Ideot." The horoscope of a "Lunatic" according to an astrologer who describes how the positions of the planets Saturn and Mars with respect to the Moon are the cause of "diseases of the mind." See lunacy. The text that accompanies the horoscope reads: "This is the nativity of a person's son now living in Kingsland-Road; he is dumb, and when he is not lunatic, he is mere ideot; but sometimes he is outrageous and mischievous to a great degree, and runs away from his father's house; at other times; when not affected by the Moon, he is quiet and foolish."
