"A man who is falling through the ice clutches desperately at the leg of a passing skater so as to drag him towards the hole he has made. From the edge of the ice (r.) projects a post with a notice-board: 'Humane Society - Whereas this Pond is very deep & dangerous, it is requested that no persons will rashly venture to Skait upon it.'"--British Museum online catalogue
