= A cartoon concerning the punishment of two orphan girls in Amsterdam in August 1879. According to contemporary sources, the two barely adult girls (and in their final year at the orphanage) who disturbed the evensong of the orphanage with deliberate loud and off key singing, were locked up. Afterwards the patrons of the orphanage punished them by cutting off their hair. A public row followed on the apparent cruel behaviour of the patrons, especially because the public considered long hair a part of their womanhood.

= Originally published in Recht voor allen, no.7. The Children's World of Learning 1763: "Extremely rare lampoon against the Dutch King William III (...). Underground the libel became the most read and discussed chapbook of the day (...). The present is the only [edition] known which rather audaciously mentions the publisher's address on front wrapper." For information on Roorda van Eysinga see H. Vervoort and M. Indorf, Sicco Roorda van Eysinga. Zijn eigen vijand (Amst., 1979): "Ook als het ging om de hoognodige omverwerping van de monarchie stond Roorda zijn mannetje. In "Fijne beschuit" en "Een aanzienlijk roover" lichtte hij de doopceel van diverse Willems en Hendrik de Zeevaarder. Het materiaal is gebruikt voor een brochure "Uit het leven van Koning Aap", die apart verscheen en in 60.000 exemplaren verspreid werd. Het is een curieus en wat onsmakelijk verslag van de eigenaardigheden van Koning Willem II. Of Roorda de hele brochure geschreven heeft is niet duidelijk (...)" (p.193).
