"An elderly, spinsterish, and ugly woman, three-quarter length, holds in her left hand a spy-glass (or microscope) which touches the circumference of a large circle, representing a magnified drop of water, filled with grotesque and horrifying aquatic creatures, from the quasi-whale to mere specks. She turns aside in disgust, looking towards the picture-plane, and dropping a full tea-cup. The Paul Pry of the signature raises his hat to a tiny pump, saying, Glad to see you hope to meet you in every Parish through London."--British Museum
