- "Two French officers stand behind three Dutchmen: one looking into a peep-show (left) inscribed 'L'Armée du Prince Frederic d'Orange', the other two seated in arm-chairs. One of the latter (centre) holds up his hands in pleased surprise; he looks through spectacles held by one Frenchman while the other is about to put a net over his face. The other (right) looks through a telescope; his shrivelled legs are in boots which may conceal cloven hoofs; he wears a cocked hat. On the ground is a torn paper, 'Garantie du Stadhouderat'; a pair of scissors grips the seal which is about to be cut off. Behind it a tiny demon digs with a spade. Text, 'Jeremiah', xiv. 14."--British Museum online catalogue.
