Belshazzar gave a Party and provided for his friends / Women Wine and Music on which so much depends / They drank so many half-pints, They could not see at all / And ended up by Writing Nasty Things upon the Wall.
Chas. H. Eldridge.
[n.d., c.1930.]
Pencil & watercolour, heightened with gilt, on card. Card 275 x 380mm.
A scene satirising Belshazzar's Feast, from the Book of Daniel, with dancing girls and gluttony. However, instead of the word of God, the writing on the wall is graffitti, for example 'Bill Shazzer is an Ass'. 'Oodunit' (whodunit) entered the English language in the 1930s.

Court of Equity, Bell-Savage Ludgate Hill.
Rob.t Dighton Pinxit. Rob.t Laurie Fecit.
Published Nov.r 1st 1778, by John Smith, Cheapside, London.
Scarce mezzotint. Sheet 360 x 430mm (14¼ x 16¾"). Trimmed to plate, laid on card, extensive cracking and surface rubbing. Damaged.
The interior of a club room, with a convivial group of men drinking and smoking. The motto behind the presiding officer's chair reads 'Mirth with Justice'. Through its lifespan The Bell Savage Inn was an Elizabethan playhouse, the coaching inn where Pocahontas stayed, the home of England's first rhinoceros and John Cassell's publishing house. It was demolished in 1873. George writes: ''The persons are well-characterized portraits. The chairman is 'Hurford, the Guildhall orator' (William Hurford, Deputy of Castlebaynard Ward). On his r., and on the extreme l. are Wright, distiller in Fleet Street, and Hamilton, clerk to William Woodfall, printer, holding the 'Morning Chronicle'. Opposite the latter sits Smith the printseller. On the chairman's l. are (l. to r.), Lamb, silversmith in Fetter Lane; Clark, sausage maker; Stephenson, an attorney; Clark, a bricklayer in Shoe Lane; Russell, a broker of Harp-Alley; Good, the auctioneer; Thorn; Dighton, the artist, on the extreme r. In the foreground (r.) by a small table sits Dighton's father; between the two Dightons is a man reading the 'Morning Post'. In front of him and facing the chairman stands Towse of Vauxhall, speaking, pipe in his l. hand, r. hand thrust in his waistcoat. Pipes, glasses, pots, papers of tobacco, and a punch-bowl are on the tables. Tom Thorpe, of the Globe Tavern, advances in the middle of the room, carrying a punch-bowl''. A rare print: the British Museum has two proof examples, yet George takes the title from Chaloner Smith, 'Court of Equity or Convivial City Meeting' with a date 1779. Apparently neither had seen a titled example.
