"Two French officers collect requisitioned goods from two Hollanders. One holds out smiling an empty sack, directing an abject Dutchman on the extreme right to put in the two money-bags which he holds. The other clenches his fist and seizes the wig of a fat Dutchman. Beside him (left) are two barrels. On the ground lies a large paper book inscribed 'Requisition. \ 500 Boeufs hollandais \ 100 Millions de Numerair[e] \ 600 Moutons. 11000 Quint: de Ris. \ 60000 Frontages. \ d'Edam \ 3000 Toneaux \ de Genevre etc.' Behind (right) is a baggage-wagon, its canvas tilt inscribed 'Republique Françoise'. It is filled with packing-cases, one inscribed 'Cabinet d'Hist: nat': Two men (left) carry off sacks and cases (marked 'N° 105' and 'N° 56'). Above the design: 'Les Battus paÿent l'amende'.

"Three men are on the sea-shore, close to a small boat (right) with a tattered sail. One, wearing a cocked hat and military gaiters, has a basket slung round his neck containing bundles of matches for sale. He stands looking to the left, the others are behind: one (left) holds a damaged anchor on an anvil, trying to straighten it with a hammer. The other (right) sits on a three-legged stool repairing a ragged sail. The explanation ends ironically, 'Bientot les Bataves regneront sur les mers, et feront la loi à la glorieuse Albion!'

"Three men gorge at a dinner-table laden with food and wine. A fat man with the table-cloth tucked under his chin gnaws a bone. A more elegant man (left), perhaps the 'President' of BMSat 8850, but wearing ear-rings, offers a bare bone to a little ragged boy. A third (right) drinks. A man-servant stands behind, another (right) with bludgeon and clenched fist drives back a starving couple who stand in the doorway making gestures of supplication.

"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'.

"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. '. . .

"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'.

"Copy of a French print. A fashionable promenade. Two men walk towards each other, each with a lady hanging to each arm, all have their faces concealed by some part of their dress, hat, or collar, or both. One man has a round hat, with a fantastically curved brim projecting downwards. The other has a huge crescent-shaped cocked hat with the peaks dipping over face and back. Both have high, stiff, pointed collars projecting above the high collars of coat and waistcoat. The ladies wear bonnets with projecting scoops or a straw hat with broad contorted brim, with high neck-ruffles. A couple walk arm-in-arm, and in the background two ladies walk away. Another lady sits alone under a tree (left). The men wear knee-breeches. The ladies wear or carry shawls with their trailing dresses; their flat slippers are en cothurne."--British Museum online catalogue.
