- "Twelve standing figures arranged in two rows, their words etched above their heads. [1] A fat and prosperous citizen smoking a long pipe, smoke puffing from the corners of his mouth and his nostrils: 'I will be bound - with a dozen of our Club and a proper allowance of fire, and the best Virginia, to smoke the French Mounseers from Dover to Calais, in the turning of a Tobacco stopper, who's afraid?' (cf. British Museum Satires No. 8220). The others, who make similar boasts of their ability to resist an invasion are: [2] A shambling journeyman tailor who speaks in the name of 'all united Taylors'. [3] A ragged cobbler, knock-kneed to deformity, who is also a preacher, cf. British Museum Satires No. 8026. [4] A 'Loyal Gypsy' with an (unnecessary) wooden leg. [5] A young woman (? Mrs. Concannon) as one of the 'Host of Faro, prepared to batter the enemy, with the remnants of our Reputations!' [6] A badly maimed officer, on stumps, with amputated right arm. [7] A doctor prepared to use his 'patent pills' on the enemy. [8] A Billingsgate virago. [9] A yokel: 'they had better keep away from our village . . . for I believe in my heart, the very Turkies would rise in a mass against them, who's afraid.' [10] A foppish apprentice: 'I am a tight dashing fresh water Sailor; - keep a funny row to Putney every Sunday - let me catch them above Bridge - thats all. who's afraid.' [11] An attorney prepared to present his bill to the enemy. [12] A stout man wearing a hat stands in back view, legs astride, coat-tails raised as if with his back to the fire: 'Lets teach em good manners D------mme who's afraid?'."--British Museum online catalogue
