On the table beside him on the mantel and scattered on the floor are books. Those scattered are important and educational such as Newton and other scientific treatise. We have seen archival references that this print is known as "The Half-Wit. wasting his time on a poor choice of reading material." The implication is that he is wasting his time in his reading material. Below the title is printed "Luctantar paucae comedunt coliphia paucae." This is a paraphrase of a line in Juvenal's satires which means few fight and few reap the reward. Presumably a comment on the importance of learning.

Représentation satirique d'un homme sur une chaise lisant devant la cheminée. Des livres sont posés sur la table à côté de lui sur la cheminée et éparpillés sur le sol. Ceux qui sont éparpillés sont importants et éducatifs comme Newton et d'autres traités scientifiques. Nous avons vu dans les archives que cette gravure est connue sous le nom de "The Half-Wit le demi-esprit. qui perd son temps avec un mauvais choix de lecture". L'implication est qu'il perd son temps dans ses lectures. Sous le titre on peut lire "Luctantar paucae comedunt coliphia paucae". Il s'agit d'une paraphrase d'un vers des satires de Juvénal qui signifie que peu de gens se battent et peu de gens récoltent la récompense.
