- Abstract
-
"A design divided by a vertical line on one side of which is Burke (right) declaiming with raised arms and downcast head; on the other (left) a scene in India illustrating his speech. An Indian, Cheyt Singh, looks over a high stone wall whose parapet is decorated with plants in vases, saying, 'Gadzooker He has taken my Hooker'. On the ground beneath the wall are two hookahs puffing out smoke, and the leg of a seated soldier, his body being cut off by the edge of the design. Burke, facing right, exclaims, 'Guilty of not suffering him to smoke for the space of two Days.'"--British Museum online catalogue
