NOTES: The illustration depicts a woman leaving a baby at the door of a house with a man looking out from the window. The door to the house is labelled 'Mr Batchelor' with the baby in a basket hung from the door knocker; the woman is labelled 'Ye Woman' and the man 'Forsaken'. It is presumably Spiers' reaction to a contemporary event.
