The modern Hannibals-or-petty coat valour (BM 1868,0808.6029)
Summary
A young woman stands under a tree (right) a pistol in each hand, aiming one at three fashionably dressed young men, saying, "Your Money Sirs or I'll lodge a Bullet in your Brains". One (right) says, "Damme if I have any"; he supports a military officer, who exclaims, "Oh Lord I'm a Dead man". The third (left) says, "Mercy on me I have only one half Crown". In the distance, across the fields, the dome of St. Paul's is indicated. 29 March 1791.
