An unrecorded and anonymous broadside, probably printed in the Netherlands around 1800. The satirical text, in an attractive woodcut frame, purports to be a passport given to a "drunkard". Should the bearer of the pass fall into a canal, ditch, toilet, gutter, or manure pile, his drinking brethren are supposed to help him.
