She stands on tip-toe on the top of her Faro 'Bank Box'. The shadow beneath the edge of the platform forms the base of the design; in front of it stands Lord Kenyon, half length, in wig and gown, ringing a hand-bell inscribed 'K' and shouting; he holds a large scroll: "Oh Yes - Oh Yes - this is to give notice that several silly Women in the Parish of St Giles, St James & St Georges [see BMSat 8880], have caus'd much Distress & uneasiness in Family by Keeping bad Houses late hours, & by Shuffling & cutting have Obtain'd divers valuabl Articles - Whoever will bring before me -""--British Museum online catalogue
