Summary:
Print shows Pitt, fast asleep, wearing only nightcap and night-shirt and down a staircase holding up a lighted candle in his right hand. On his right only are banisters, on his left the steps abut on a gulf indicated by the top of an arch supporting the stair; he is about to descend the first step, perilously near the left edge.
