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.
