An engraving of the English wrier Daniel Defoe, author of Robinson Crusoe, in the stocks. He was pilloried after being found guilty of libel in some anti-establishment pamphlets that he published. Legend has it that his views resonated so much with the public that they threw flowers at him and drank to his health.
As far as my research is able to ascertain, I believe this image to be a part of the public domain and free of any copyright restrictions. However if you are intending to use it commercially it is recommended to make sure that there are no restrictions for your use in your country.
