Flowers of Edinburgh

 Came across this accidentally, thought it too funny.

It's in the British museum, and the description goes like this.

An Edinburgh wynd or close. A man seated on a bucket is using it as a latrine. A man holding a bucket stands behind him, screening him with his cloak, and turning round to call "Haud your Hond Lossie" to a woman who is emptying a bucket of filth from a first-floor window. A man is seated on the ground on the right by a steaming cauldron, across which is a large spoon. He is calling "Twa dips & a wallop for a Baubee". The men are in Highland dress. Beneath the title is engraved:

"Yi dunna ken what I can dee
For I can set ye doon & cure ye tee" 1 August 1781

Europe's future looks increasingly like what is depicted above as more energy resources are denied to European nations who have virtually none of their own, but in fact it's nothing new as denizens of Europe have always literally lived and rooted in shit, hence the prevalence of the word "shit" in major European languages such as English, German, French, etc. where it is one of the most frequent words and is used to denote a wide range of notions by reference to the common European denominator and the foundation of European culture - human and animal feces - on which everything is built in Europe and has always been, hence Europe is a Colossus on feet of shit.
