- Abstract

"Rectangular bundles of documents, supported on human legs, march towards a writing-table (left) where two men await them eagerly, one being evidently Lord Stewart. These bundles recede in perspective from right to left. The two largest are inscribed: 'From Switzerland Via Colombier the Capital of Europe' and 'From Milan by the Brown road'. The others are: 'From Trieste'; 'From Carlsruhe'; 'Como'; 'Italy'; 'Devil'; 'Moloch'; 'Lucifer'. A bird flies towards the table with a paper inscribed 'Private'. Forked lightning darts towards the table, beside which trunks, boxes, and papers are piled, with a paper headed '... [Maj]ochys deposition'. Towards the table from the left advances (from an ornate Gothic building) a procession of lawyers, carrying books. P. 6: E, for the Embassy, kept on full pay, Collecting of slander and filth on the way ; ..."--British Museum online catalogue
