Shou chao ben., "Zhejiang wen xian zhan lan hui chu pin jie chao ; Ban yuan cang" - Cover., With: Wuchuan kou nan shi cao / He Derun zhu., and DS759.M35 1864 : From the Jen Yu-Wen Papers, Manuscripts and Archives, Yale University Library.
"A cow representing the commerce of Great Britain stands passively on the sea-shore while an American with a feathered cap saws off her horns; one horn lies on the ground. A Dutchman milks the cow ... France, a foppishly-dressed Frenchman, and Spain, a don in slashed doublet and cloak, hold bowls of milk. In the foreground lies the British lion asleep, unconscious of a pug-dog which stands on his back befouling him. Behind the lion stands a plainly-dressed Englishman clasping his hands in despair. In the background across the sea is a town inscribed Philadelphia; in front of it on the shore, two men on a minute scale (General and Admiral Howe) are seated at a table. Both are asleep, a punch-bowl is on the table... Beside them, laid up on dry land is a man-of-war inscribed Eagle (Howe's flag-ship.)" -- George
