A spectacled skeleton marches through a churchyard beating a drum inscribed Glasgow Chronicle; he is followed by a second skeleton with a flag inscribed Popular Anatomy Mechanics Institution. Behind them run a crowd of mechanics and a woman, waving hats and arms. Five men ('resurrectionists.') in a room, three asleep, one tipsy. On a table are a coffin, a lighted candle, and a tankard. In a graveyard round a lighted lantern are four armed guards, two of whom sit on tombstones drinking with women. In the background a tiny figure escapes over the wall with his grisly burden in a sack.
