- Depiction: A member of the Hebrew tribe, who carries a bag slung on his arm, is bearing forbidden luxuries to two fair representatives of his race. A couple of Jewesses, whose persons are resplendent in jewelry, are leaning over the wicket-gate of their premises, lost in admiration at the spectacle of a little stranger - a sucking pig - which the tempter, who has led the maternal sow and entire porcine family astray, is holding out for Mrs. Shevi - a sufficiently motherly-looking lady - to salute with a kiss. Another Hebrew gentleman, who is overlooking this transaction, has his face thrown into horrified contortions and his hair standing on end at making the discovery of this incredible depravity. Possession of the Jew clothesman is explained by a handbill advertising: five pounds is promised for information of the whereabouts of the "wanderers".
