An Edinburgh wynd or close. A man seated on a bucket is using it as a latrine. A man holding a bucket stands behind him, screening him with his cloak, and turning round to call "Haud your Hond Lossie" to a woman who is emptying a bucket of filth from a first-floor window. A man is seated on the ground on the right by a steaming cauldron, across which is a large spoon. He is calling "Twa dips &amp; a wallop for a Baubee". The men are in Highland dress. Beneath the title is engraved:
<p><br><br>"Yi dunna ken what I can dee
<br>For I can set ye doon &amp; cure ye tee" 1 August 1781
