This image appears to be a satirical or historical caricature. The character in the image stands on a wooden deck next to various objects that might be found on a ship. There's a large jug labeled "COGNAC" and a barrel marked "GROG," which suggests the setting could be related to naval or maritime themes, as grog was a common alcoholic beverage on ships. Behind the figure, there are sails suggesting a sailing ship environment, and the individual is dressed in attire that might befit a naval officer or ship's purser from a past era, with knee-length breeches, stockings, buckled shoes, and a long coat. The picture frame has a label with "No. 6" and the word "PURSER" inscribed upon it, further indicating that the character’s role is likely that of a ship's purser, who was responsible for the ship's supplies and finances. There's also some text at the bottom that suggests it may have been printed or sold in London.

This is a historical illustration titled "Purser" (No. 6) from 1799. It shows a naval purser, who was responsible for managing supplies and accounts on ships, standing on what appears to be a ship's deck. He's wearing typical late 18th-century attire including a blue coat, white breeches, black shoes, and a black hat. He's shown reading what appears to be a document or ledger. Around him are various items related to his duties, including barrels (one marked "GROG"), bottles (one labeled "COGNAC"), and other storage containers. The setting suggests he's on a ship, with rigging visible in the background and a ladder to one side. The image is rendered in a somewhat caricature style typical of the period, and appears to be a hand-colored print. It was published in London by R. Ackermann at 101 Strand. The illustration provides an interesting glimpse into naval life and administration during the Age of Sail.

The image is a hand-colored etching by English artist James Gillray, titled "Purser" (1798). It depicts a man dressed in a blue coat, white breeches, and black shoes, standing on a wooden platform. He is holding a piece of paper in his hands and appears to be reading it. The man is wearing a black hat and has a white shirt underneath his coat. To the left of the man is a large jug with the word "CONIAC" written on it. On the right side of the man is a wooden barrel with the word "GROG" written on it. The background of the image shows a ship's deck with a ladder leading up to the deck and a mast in the distance. The overall atmosphere of the image suggests that it is a humorous depiction of a naval officer or sailor engaged in some sort of activity on board a ship. The presence of the jug and barrel suggests that the man may be drinking or preparing to drink, which adds to the comedic tone of the image. The image is framed by a black border with a white inner border, and it is signed by the artist at the bottom. The signature reads "J. Gillray" and includes the date "1798". Overall, the image is a charming and amusing depiction of a naval scene from the late 18th century.
