In the front right, the claws of a chained Dutch Lion are cut. On the right a gate with the coat of arms of The Hague with the inscription: T Slaapt Hier Al. On the left, the allegorical figure Riot knocks the representations of Prosperity, Peace and Trade out the door. In the background murals of the Trojan Horse and members of the English court kissing the ass of William III. At the bottom of the print, Freedom and Trade lie crying on a tomb with the inscription 'Hic Jacet edictum perpetuum 1672, vi & fraud'. On the sheet under the plate a Dutch text printed in 3 columns with an explanation of the numbers 1-15.
