Exporting cattle not insurable [graphic]

"A ship's boat filled with rollicking prostitutes, is rowed towards a King's ship whose bows are on the extreme left. The two oarsmen and the helmsman, and a marine playing a fiddle are swamped by the women, who hold up decanters and glasses. The helmsman lounges with his arms round two women, one of whom holds the tiller. A negro woman smokes a long pipe (cf. British Museum Satires No. 8793). All are in high spirits. Tied outside the boat are two barrels, both inscribed 'Smugled', one is 'Hollands Gin', the other and larger is 'Coniac Brandy'. Behind (right) is a ship with guns projecting from port-holes; two women climb on board by a rope-ladder from a boat, watched by sailors and an officer, while from a window of the captain's cabin another woman looks out. A ship in full sail (left) makes for the horizon. Cf. British Museum Satires No. 11981."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
