Above the shelves, and forming the apex of the design, a fury, Discord, with snaky locks, leans from clouds, holding a flaming sword and looking down threateningly at the conference. On the top shelf are a 'Guillotine' and a bull, 'Phalaris', a block inscribed 'Menschen lief de' next a gallows, a demon. Below are bottles: 'Quint Ess: de Robespierr, Sel de Marat, Recipes en Assignaten [see British Museum Satires No. 8849], Rotten gift [poison for mice], Alb: Graec:' On the wall hang a sword and shackles.
