"Two French commissaries stand (left), each with a book under his arm, holding out their demands for assignments on the exchequer; one has a paper inscribed 'Payer'. Their president, as in BMSat 8849, shrugging his shoulders, answers 'Impossible!' Another man seated on a bale (right) counts on his fingers; before him are figures giving a total of 'o'. A third holds up a paper: '2 /2 /3/', looking at it through an eye-glass. On the wall is a 'Tafel van Multiplicatie' and beside it shelves in which are books and bundles of papers, one inscribed 'Pretentions des Trouppes Suisses'. A shelf is inscribed 'Insolvable'.

"The interior of a church or crypt, indicated by a stone wall with funeral monuments, and a flagged floor in which old graves have been violated. A soldier tramples on a skeleton, another levers up a flag-stone. Behind, a boy in military uniform, in back view, urinates upon a skull. A citizen raises a mallet in both hands to deface a large monument against the wall, on which is the figure of a bearded man in sixteenth-century armour, which partly obscures the lettering on the tomb: 'Wil. . . [F]riso Princ .... Araus Na ...'. A tomb beside it (right), headed by a pyramid of skulls, is 'F. W: \ com: Nassov. \ Obiit \ Anno . . \.' There are other broken tombstones, one inscribed 'Princ: Araus'. A plumed helmet and blazoned shield lie on the ground.

"The patriots (known as 'Bataves', who had emigrated in 1787 after their defeat by the Anglo-Prussian alliance, see BMSat 7178, &c.) approach the committee (apparently two French Représentants en Mission) with requests for money and clothes. Four men stand obsequiously on the right, two with papers inscribed 'Request'. From the pocket of one (right), dressed as a soldier, projects a carriage-lamp (which he is alleged in the text to have stolen). One Frenchman (wearing a scarf inscribed 'Representant'), holding a pair of breeches, puts money into an outstretched palm. The other haughtily watches the suppliants. On the left an old Jew measures a patriot wearing sabots, his coat inscribed 'N° 25', for a suit of clothes. Behind him is a wall from which projects a sign: 'Nathan Levi Uitdraager en Kleermaaker' [broker and tailor]. On the wall are four pegs, from one hangs a 'Capts Pack': coat, boots, and sword, from another a 'Lts Pack': coat and sword. Between them hangs a small empty bag of 'Courage Militais' [sic], and on the right a mask. Behind the suppliants is a door (right) above which is a notice surmounted by a cap of liberty: 'Nederlandsche \ Societeÿt \ Vry Wÿn en Moll' [Wine and beer gratis]. On the door: 'gebranndte Waateren te koop' [brandy for sale]. Text, 'Proverbs', xiii. 21."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A lamp-lighter (left) stands dejectedly on his ladder which rests against a stone obelisk supporting a lamp whose glass is broken. The light has been extinguished by a blast from the head of a cherub emerging from clouds (right). A man wearing a cocked hat standing by the lamp-post tries in vain to get a spark from a flint. A stout citizen bends over a cup held by an old woman seated on the right, he stirs it and blows upon it, evidently trying to kindle a light. A dog befouls the obelisk. '. . .

"An obese 'cit' and his wife sit side by side at a small round breakfast-table, facing a tall handsome young woman who stands before them. The wife, registering surprise, asks: "What Situation in my Family woud you wish to undertake Young Woman." She answers demurely: "Ma'am I should like to be under Your Man Cook by Way of Improvement." The 'cit', excited and angry, exclaims: "What's that you say I'll be D--nd If you shall be under my Man Cook or any other man in my house." The fat cook, outside the open door (right), laughs uproariously. A large fierce cat advances towards the girl. On the table are tea-things, a large urn, and boiled eggs."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Lord Lansdowne is about to force down the throat of the Duke of Richmond a part of his model fortifications which are on a dish beside him. These are in the form of a semicircle of gun-embrasures, each marked with a letter of the word '[F]ORTIFICATION'; Lansdowne stands behind Richmond, who is seated, holding him by the arm, with the letter 'F' in a spoon which he holds before Richmond's mouth; Richmond starts back in alarm. The blind Barré, touching the wall to guide himself, enters from the right, leading by the empty right sleeve a lean and erect military officer with a wooden leg, who holds a long spear. On Richmond's table is a paper: 'Morning Post Tuesday March 6th 1787. Marquis La . . s . . . n; This Letter if his Grace thought proper, he would send him under cover to refresh his convenient & accomodating Memory------ Lords Debates'.

"A plump Jewess leans over the wooden barrier across the street doorway, to kiss a sucking-pig which her husband holds out to her, affectionately putting his arm round her shoulders. He is bearded, with a long coat, with a bag slung from his arm, showing that he deals in old clothes. A sow (right) looks up anxiously at the pig. A comely young woman wearing a necklace and ear-rings leans over Mrs. Shevi, admiring the pig. From an adjacent window or doorway, an elderly Jew leans, registering outraged horror. The doorway is vaulted, and has a heavy wooden door. A caged bird hangs just inside.
