"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. '. . . Ce Committé se donne bien dela peine pour allumer la grande lanterne. Mais - le vent siffie - les verres sont cassé - comment les raccomoder ? - ' Text, 'Job', xviii. 5."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Bond Street, the pavement receding diagonally from left to right, is thronged with fashionable pedestrians. In the foreground five fashionably dressed men advance, forming a phalanx which pushes on to the cobbled roadway a lady, dressed rather for the ball-room than the street, to whose arm clings a little girl; both are in back view. The men smile or leer. The lady's neck diminishes to a point, tresses of hair hang from her turban (cf. BMSat 8755), which is trimmed by a gigantic erect feather. Her over-dress hangs from her shoulders and swells into folds which sweep the ground. She holds a fan. (Small copy in Grego.) Behind (right) three ladies walk arm-in-arm in the roadway: a fat woman in a riding-habit, looking through an opera-glass, and two younger women, one with her face covered by a transparent veil reaching nearly to the (knees, the other looking demurely down. Among the crowd in the background a man arm-in-arm with a military officer in back view (? Lord Moira) resembles Fox."--British Museum online catalogue.
