A watchman slumps drunkenly against some wooden stocks, his bottle falling from his left hand; a dog urinates on his leg. A notice to right is inscribed 'A Proclamation against drunkenness'. Numbered '13' upper right. From an album of caricatures published by Mary Darly dated January 1776. It seems that her husband Matthew made the plates.
