"The head and shoulders of a man repeated six times in different attitudes. Above (right) the Duke of Hamilton (see BMSat 7958), good-looking, with bare clenched fists looks up and to the left, as if facing an antagonist. In successive stages one eye is closed and bleeding, the nose and then the mouth are bleeding, cuts on the face and forehead appear. In the last stage, in the lower left corner of the design, the grossly disfigured head lies unconscious, blood pouring from the mouth."--British Museum online catalogue
