- Abstract
-
"A sequel to British Museum satire no. 8608: the two chief figures resembling the embracing couple: the Frenchman (right) holds against his person the baggy breeches of the Dutchman; coins stream from the pockets and are piled on the ground. The Dutchman (left), standing with bare thighs, scratches his head in dismay, saying, "Oh my Dollars & Ducats D------n their Citizenship; A fellow here calls me Frere Citoyen and takes away all my Property". His hat and (broken) pipe lie on the ground. On the left, and in profile to the right, a ragged Frenchman in Dutch breeches, wearing a bonnet-rouge, capers delightedly, holding to his mouth a square 'Gin' bottle. Coins pour from the breeches. He says: "They may talk of the Coldness of this Country but by Gar here is the Warm Liqour for De inside & de Warm breeches for de out side". In the foreground (right) a dwarfish Frenchman sits on a pile of sacks inscribed 'Dollars for the use of the National Convention'. He dips in his hand and stuffs coins into his coat-pocket. In the background (left) an almost naked Frenchman capers delightedly, waving a hat-full of coins, and saying: "Aye Aye, Equality is the order of the Day la Liberté for the Carmagnoles." On the extreme right a sansculotte embraces a delighted fat Dutchwoman. Three barelegged Dutchmen are behind; one says: "I dont like this Equality business I wish we had not Invited theese Plundering Fellows here, I suppose they'll make use of my Frow next." A Frenchman wearing Dutch breeches (cf. BMSat 9034) smokes a pipe in an experimental manner."
