A Concise Explanation of the Convention Bills!!, 23 December 1795
Scope and Contents
Published: S. W. Fores. A lean Frenchman, probably an emigre, and a fat Englishman face each other in profile. The Frenchman (left), who has a long thin queue, ruffled shirt, and wears a spencer over his coat, leans on a tasselled cane, and says with raised forefinger, 'Pray Monsieur what be de meaning of theese Convention Bills?' The shorter Englishman, who is very obese and wears clerical bands, his stick under his arm, his hand thrust in the pocket of his old-fashioned waistcoat, looks up at the Frenchman with a grotesque scowl, shouting "Hold your Jaw!!". Description from the British Museum.
