In this plate the curtain is suspended between two very tall amphoræ
which rest upon books bearing the Greek letters Ὁμ Ἑλ upon their backs;
behind the curtain two hogs disport themselves; the circular frame is
above them and encloses the representation of a punch bowl, under which
is the motto, _Dum vivimus vivamus_. Above all, the shield of arms with
the motto on a bend, _Fide et Amicitia_, is graced by grape-vine
branches, and the crossed lance and sword. Signed, _F. Mitchell. Del._
