Abstract (en)

Focuses on the meaning of two objects depicted in Plate III which shows the harlot at breakfast: the watch and the conical broad-brimmed hat. Argues that the watch which reads 12:15 helps identify the harlot as the notorious Kate Hackabout; and that the hat identifies her as a supposedly lecherous Quaker.
