Abstract:

"An undergraduate leans from a bow window holding a rope attached to a basket containing a gaily dressed courtesan. In its descent it has knocked down the Proctor, who sits on the pavement, the woman falling on top of him. A 'bull-dog' with a constable's staff flashes a lantern on the window and on the woman; another stands just behind. An undergraduate watches from roudnd the corner of the building (right); a well-dressed couple hurry down the side street, looking back with interest."--British Museum catalogue.
