"The interior of Sir Robert Taylor's rotunda in the Bank of England when it was used as a stock exchange with the arc of the pilastered wall and part of the domed ceiling forming a background. The floor is covered with groups of small figures, only three ladies among them, who are drawn realistically with a certain humourous intention. On the left is a Jew who talks to a fashionable young man in top-boots. On the right a man wearing a cocked hat and holding a staff and waving a rattle stands above a crowd of excited bidders. On the wall above his head is the notice: 'No clerk to act as broker.' Behind is a table at which men stand to write. On the wall above it is the inscription: Navy &c. £5 pr. ctr. amnt."--British Museum online catalogue
