- Abstract
-
"Ten Odd Fellows with grotesque faces watch a sailor who stands, arms akimbo, wary and pugnacious. The chairman sits in a raised armchair, smoking and drinking, behind a small table on which are two lighted candles. On the back of his chair are three small but realistic heads, seeming to watch the proceedings. A man in a dressing-gown, introduces the sailor, doffing a night-cap: "Most worthy Chairman Mr Benjamin Block of Wapping Old Stairs - attends to be made a Member of the Ancient and honorable Society." The sailor, who wears round hat, short blue jacket, a petticoat (as in earlier prints), and buckled shoes, says: "Avast my Hearties, - before I've proceeded any further on the voyage let me know what course you are steering - if you mean to frighten a British sailor with your goggle eyes, and queer faces you are d------dly mistaken - besides it appears to me that you have got masks on which is like fighting under false colours, and that wont do for an English Jack Tar!""--British Museum online catalogue
