"A French petit-maître stands 'chapeau-bras' (left), in profile to the left, bending forward, his left hand in his breeches pocket, his right hand raised. Behind him are five ladies on their knees, making gestures of supplication. He wears bag-wig, laced suit, and sword. The ladies, who are young and pretty, wear feathered hats or feathers in their hair. He says, "parblue Mesdames vous n'y viendrez pas." Beneath the title is etched: 'With clasped hands and bended knees, They humbly sought the Count to please, And beg'd admission to his house, Not that for him they care'd a louse, But wish'd within his walls to shine, And shew those charms they think divine, His Ex beheld these Belles unmov'd, His A------e their impudence reproved, Cannaille he said shoud ne'er come there & rumped them with a pet en l'air'."--British Museum online catalogue

"The Englishman, grossly obese, walks from the door of the inn (left) supporting his paunch on a wheelbarrow which the cook of British Museum satire no. 12361 helps to drag, exhausted by the effort, and mopping his face with his cap. A plank leads from the quayside to a packet-boat, the stern of which appears below, empty except for one expectant sailor. Another sailor's hand appears by the plank, ready to assist the embarkation. The sign of the inn is not depicted, the window flap hangs down. The second cook stands in the courtyard, offering food to a gorged cat on the roof."--British Museum online catalogue

Series of 10 numbered postcards, with narrative captions; French child as advocate, poking fun at the legal profession. "This series illustrates an old children's folksong about a lawyer, some hints of gluttony and hostility, but not unlike cautionary children's songs in English, to influence their behavior through bad examples. Except that the bad example here is the act of a lawyer, so not totally innocent or innocuous! It's the kind of children's songs that would be accompanied by gestures."--Donor's description
