"Heading to printed verses: 'A Burlesque Ballad* - Tune "Billy Taylor was a brisk young Fellow". A man and woman in bed in an attic. A figure, draped in a sheet, stands at the foot of the bed, holding up a lantern. The man reaches for his wooden leg which is by the bed. The verses relate that the cobbler courted Nancy Viggins 'All for the lucre of her gold', then threw her into a river. She was saved by a sailor, and attempted to frighten the cobbler by appearing to him as her own ghost: 'Dick swore he heeded not sprites nor ghostesses, "I'll cure ye, madam, of them there airs;" Then seized his vooden leg vith wengeance, And sent her headlong down the stairs.'"--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Design in an oval. An old military officer with a wooden leg describes his campaigns to two cronies. He is seated in a chair (right) in profile to the left wearing regimentals and sword, his wig has a long loosely twisted pigtail queue; his wooden leg (right) projects horizontally from his chair. He holds a map or plan taken from the wall, and is showing it to a stout man sitting on his right, who looks at it through spectacles. The third man standing behind, his left arm on the back of the soldier's chair, looks over their shoulders at the map. At their feet a small dog lies asleep. Through the open door (left) a man is seen dancing along while he plays a fiddle."--British Museum online catalogue
