"A lean man (right) wearing a doctor's tie-wig, is running from left to right to escape from a watchman who stands (left) springing his rightattle. On the ground is a basket or hamper, the lid of which has fallen open to show the body of a young woman in a shroud. A short irate man (centre) points at the escaping figure, turning towards the lean aged watchman, who holds in his left hand a large lantern, and a tall stick, whose head is carved to represent a head. In the watchman's hat, which is tied on with a scarf, is a tobacco pipe in full blast. The fleeing Anatomist holds a tall cane in his left hand; under his left arm is a dilapidated skull. He has dropped a paper inscribed "Hunter's Lectur[es]", showing that he is Dr. William Hunter (1718-83), the great anatomist. He built a house (1770) in Great Windmill Street to which were attached a dissecting room, lecture room, and a large museum, see British Museum Satires No. 6128. The caricature deals with the body-snatching for the sale of corpses to surgeons, which went on to a considerable extent in this period."--British Museum online catalogue
