Print, satirical print (BM 1874,0808.2029)

Satire on impovershed writers showing a poet sitting at a table, scratching his head and pushing at his turban as he attempts a composition with his quill pen, his elbow resting on a pile of books; two bailiffs approach from behind, one clasping his shoulder and presenting him with a writ of execution. A cat sits on a stool beneath the poet's table.
