Effects of Bankruptcy Twelve figures arranged over two rows react to the news of an acquaintance's bankruptcy. Their comments are written over their heads. Top row, left to right: A hunched old man in tie wig and cocked hat says : "Done up" A man in dressing-gown, slippers and cap, drops his cup and saucer and exclaims: "D--n it you don't say so" A downcast man leans on his stick and says: "Farewell to my thousand pounds!" A fat man, his wig askew, holds out his hands, with a copy of the 'Gazette' in one hand, and says: "Here's a pretty job." A thin man, wearing glasses, holds a copy of the 'Gazette' to his face and says: "Surely I don't see clear!" A Jew with a beard, wearing a long, full coat says: "Not so much as shix-pensh in de pound." Bottom row, from left to right: A man holding a piece of paper inscribed '200,00 hogsheads of sugar unsold' says: "I always suspected it." A fat man, wearing a cap and apron says: "Dish'd - as sure as I am a cheese-monger." A worried-looking man holds his hands in front of him and says: "Always thought him a monied man." A surprised-looking man, facing right, exclaims: "You astonish me". This is in response to a man in a round hat, top-boots with spurs, and holding a whip, who asserts: "Known it three weeks." A man with a perplexed expression holds out his arms. He holds his hat and cane in one hand and says: "Yet after all - who could have thought it." A small dog sits by his side. 6 Oct 1799
