"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.

"An old woman of repulsive and disreputable appearance sits full-face surrounded by quack doctors. Her cap is inscribed 'Rep: Bat' (Batavian Republic), her petticoat is decorated with the seven [The artist has arranged the arrows in groups of five, not seven] arrows of the United Provinces. Her feet are in a tub of water. One doctor (left) holds her arm, the blood from which gushes into a bowl on her lap. Another (right) applies a cupping-glass to her left shoulder. A man (right) stands primly in profile to the left holding his cane; from his pocket protrudes a book: 'Traité sur la Reconaissance'. (He is 'Citoyen L' who owes everything to the ex-Stadholder.) Two military officers also watch the treatment, one (left) has a clyster-pipe under his arm. Standing behind, and on a higher level, is the zany (cf. BMSat 6398, &c), holding up a club wreathed with a serpent in his right hand, a bottle inscribed 'Tinct. Univer.' in the left. On the ground is a prescription inscribed 'R. P M: Mere' [i.e. Merc]. Text, 'Jeremiah', li. 9."--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.
