- Abstract
-
"John Bull (left), a benevolent 'cit', and a Spaniard (right), stand in front of piles of military stores. John's right hand is deep in his coat-pocket, in his left hand is a cudgel of 'Oak'. He says, smiling at the Spaniard: "My good Friend you see I have brought you Clothing for Ten thousand men Viz Cheese Shoes stockings belts and small Clothes besides Arms and Amunition, and if that wont do Ill bring you Gully and Gregson and the Devil is in it if they wont do!" The Spaniard, with his hands on his hips, and an expression of stern resolution, answers: "We thank thee Johnny for all thou hast brought, and if thou cans't bring the other two we shall be more obliged to thee." At John's feet are guineas and a bag of 'Gold'; the stores behind him are cannon-balls, packages of 'Coats', 'Shirts', 'Belts', piles of cheeses inscribed 'Stilton Cheese' [on top], 'Cheshire Cheese', 'Gloucester Cheese', 'Cambridge Cheese', 'Yorkshire Cheese', 'Leistershire Cheese', 'Cottenham Cheese', and 'Bath Cheese', 'Wiltshire Cheese', 'Cream Cheese', 'Derbyshire Cheese', partly hidden by a great pile of shoes. Beside the Spaniard are swords, pistols, a package of 'Stockings' a cask, and bayoneted muskets."--British Museum online catalogue
