Abstract: "The younger man stands legs astride negligently using a ramrod. A bleeding cock hangs from his waist. His companion leans against a fence, voraciously gnawing a cold chicken, a bottle of 'Porter' beside him. Near him lies a dead cat. Each dog watches his master, the bulldog's collar is inscribed 'John Bull'."--British Museum online catalogue.
