- Abstract:
- "A Dutch soldier (left) and his wife (right), joining hands, dance round a tree of Liberty to music supplied by a foppish French soldier on the extreme left who beats a drum and blows a trumpet, and by a stout Dutchman on the extreme right who plays bagpipes inscribed 'Vader-lands Liefde' (Love of Country). The 'tree' is a pole surmounted by a milk-churn inscribed 'Vryheid \ Gellykheid \ Broederscha[p]', [This inscription (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity) occurs on Dutch prints after the French invasion, e.g. Van Stolk, No. 5299; Muller, No. 5385.] above which is a cap of Liberty shaped like a fool's cap, and a tricolour flag inscribed 'Hollandia Regenerate[a]'. On the churn sits a parroquet, 'trying to imitate the patriotic accents of his French brothers'. A monkey climbs up the pole as in BMSat 8831. Texts, 'Acts', vii. 41, and 'Job', xviii. 16."--British Museum online catalogue

- "The Convention, a creature with the body of a stout woman and with seven monstrous and demoniac heads, sits full-face in an accoucheur's chair. A little demon on the ground holds up a pitchfork. A French surgeon, smiling (right), with shirt-sleeves rolled up, holds a clumsy pair of forceps; a Dutch accoucheur, fat and senile, peers into a folio volume: 'Sectio Caes: et Sectio Synchondroseos'. '. . . L'accoucheur Français, homme experimenté, prévoit ses terribles convulsions, et s'est déja muni du forceps. Son collegue Hollandais, dont les craintes vont encore plus loin, repete la théorie de l'incision Caesarienne. Il faudrait effectivement un Caesar, pour couper court à tout proces.' Text, 'Isaiah', xiv. 29. Her fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent."--British Museum online catalogue

- "A skeleton (cf. BMSat 8825), representing the reorganized Dutch army, stands on a rectangular pedestal, inscribed 'De \ niewwe \ orga= \ nio \ satie. \ 1795. \ Het Ith Jaar der \ Batavsche Vryhyd'. It wears a cocked hat and short military coat (showing its ribs - 'un bel uniforme à la Française'), and smokes a pipe. Two French officers are on the left, one turns his back on the skeleton and rides his cane, like a hobby horse, his sabre against his shoulder. The other holds up an admonishing arm towards two dejected Dutch officers of unmilitary appearance: one appears to be a member of the National Guard, the other, a hunch-back, wearing jackboots and sword but leaning decrepitly on a cane, tramples on 'Traité sur l'honeur Milita[ire]'. He is 'General S.' Text, 'Jeremiah', xlviii. 14."--British Museum online catalogue

The candlesticks are inscribed 'P. V.O.' (? Prins van Oranje). Behind and on the right two sit asleep at a table on which are glasses, a tall bottle of 'Vaderlander Schied[am]', and a pipe. On the ground behind, a man lies face downwards, a glass clasped in his hand. On the floor are a paper headed 'Rotterdam' and a decapitated cock, so dealt with to prevent the crowing of the vigilant bird, which might have disturbed them.

On the ground (left) are the arrows of the seven United Provinces, broken and separated, a cat plays with the ribbon which binds them (the symbolical bond of union, cf. BMSat 5712). A National Guard has taken one of the arrows and drives it into the head of a man whose eye he tries to gouge out, and who grasps another antagonist by the wig. One raises a chair to smite, another empties a wine-bottle on an opponent."--British Museum online catalogue

- "Two committee-men make requisitions from a peasant and a barrow-woman. One takes a fish from the creel on the fisherman's back, and puts it into a small cornucopia which he holds. The victim, who wears trousers and sabots filled with straw, holds a paper, 'Recepisse' (see BMSat 8849), and clenches his fist, furious at receiving a receipt instead of cash. The other, in back view, has taken a handful of turnips, the old woman looks at him with a hungry, puzzled stare."--British Museum online catalogue

- "Four members of the committee surround a treasure-chest, dismayed to find it empty of ducats and occupied by a grinning demon who points derisively at one of them, the Secretary (wearing a bonnet-rouge with a pen in it) who holds upside down an empty bag inscribed 'ils ont emigrè'. One of them, his back to the chest, takes from a Jew (left) wearing a fur cap a dish on which a little demon is excreting coins. On the right a large cupboard falls forward shooting the huge packages it contains, inscribed 'Recepissen' and 'Assignats', on to the backs of two of the committee, the more prominent is the president of the Committee of Accounts in BMSat 8850. '. . . les beaux ducats! ils ont passé chez nos frêres, les Français! dit le Secretaire....' The Jew sells a figure which he assures the purchaser will, if nourished with the tears of the Orangists, give fifty ducats daily. This is better than the piles of assignats which threaten ruin.
