- Abstract
-
"An adaptation of British Museum Satires No. 5172 (1773), the figures reversed and altered. A short and grossly obese 'cit' stands on tip-toe in profile to the right at a side-table, raising a punch-bowl to his lips. The bowl is supported by Death, a skeleton, who stands over his unconscious victim about to plunge a javelin into his head, his right leg raised in triumphant delight. On the side-table are a frothing tankard, lemons, decanter of 'Port'; on the ground, a row of casks, with empty bottles, a corkscrew, flagon of 'Usquebaugh', &c."--British Museum online catalogue
