Abstract:
An obese constable, leaning heavily against stocks set on the ground and holding his staff in his right hand, is reaching for a bottle in his left coat pocket. His unfocused gaze betrays his drunk condition. On a column to his right is pasted a placard, "A proclamation against drunkenness." Below the column, a small dog with a name "Guzzle" on his collar is relieving himself on his master's leg
