"Nicholls stands directed to the left, almost in profile; his left eye is closed, but he gazes through a pair of double glasses held in his right hand, his face wrinkled in a sour grimace. Rays of light stream outward from the glasses. He wears a round hat with up-curved brim, half-boots, and holds a long cane in his left hand. Beneath the design: '"get thee glass Eyes And like a scurvy Politician, seem To see the things thou dost not" - Shakespeare'."--British Museum online catalogue
