"Political ravishment, or the Old Lady of Threadneedle-Street in danger!"; showing a thin old woman dressed in one-pound notes, throwing up her arms in terror as William Pitt embraces her with his right hand and takes guineas from her pocket with his left. The satire is a protest against the introduction of paper money.
