Abstract: Reverse copy of a print by Gillray: A German officer lies on his back on a truckle bed in a poverty-stricken room. He smokes a long curved pipe, emitting clouds of smoke. His bare feet project from the striped duvet which is his only covering. On the walls hang his sword, cloak, cocked hat, and a bust portrait of Frederick the Great. The only objects on the boarded floor are a close-stool (right) with a torn 'Brussells Gazette', a chamber-pot, a "tobacco box", and pair of jack-boots (left)."--British Museum online catalogue.
