On the print are numbers referring to a printed explanation below the plate in two columns, Dutch (left), French (right). The Englishman (1) lies on a low bed draped with curtains; he is vomiting into a chamberpot held by (7) a Dutch peasant. Standing behind his patient is an apothecary (2), holding a syringe which he is about to use. Behind the apothecary is an American (3), who wears trousers and a feathered cap.  A crowd of doctors and apothecaries (4), some holding syringes, appear through a wide doorway on the extreme left. Their desire to succour the patient is frustrated by (5) a Frenchman, sword in hand, and (6) a Spaniard. Over the doorway is an oval medallion containing a head in profile to the right, perhaps intended for Cromwell. On the extreme right through an open window two ships (8) are visible.  c.1780
