There is no front wall, enabling sea-monsters to attack the occupants, who are four terrified little men, naked except for breeches. In each of the three walls is a barred window; through one (right) a large fish has pushed its head to seize the head of a man in its jaws, while water gushes in."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier stateTitle from text above image.P.F.L.B. is a pseudonym of James Gillray.Reissue with altered imprint; originally published July 19, 1801, by H.
