Abstract:
A large naked monster sits astride a large cup, which is balanced on a dagger held in the mouth of a small sansculotte juggler who exclaims, " By Gar tis var heavy, O dear! O dear! It will fall!" The monster holds in his hands the heads of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. On his head five daggers meet at a point to form a cap labelled "Cap of Liberty." He grins showing sharp teeth, two labels issuing from his mouth, " Ca ira, ca ira, ca ira" and "Hold me well up or I will bit off your head."

"Three elderly hags are dressed as young girls, and leeringly imitate a girlish simper. One (perhaps the schoolmistress) sits on a chair under a tree (right) reading to the others, from 'Juvenel [sic] a Novel'. In her left hand is another book, 'An Ode to Beauty'. Beside her sits a dog clipped in the French manner. The others stand facing her, one closing her eyes and clasping her hands, the other, who holds a fan, leers at her companion. These two wear nosegays. All have high-waisted dress with sashes. The reader wears a straw hat tied on with a scarf. Behind her is a tree on whose trunk letters are carved: 'W' and 'I C' (for the artists). In the background (left) is the corner of a house inscribed 'Young Ladies Genteely Boarded & Educated' by A Bull
