Scope and Contents

Artist: Thomas Rowlandson. Published: Ackermann. French soldiers, who have just landed, are being bayoneted and ridden down by English troops. They flee in terror-stricken confusion. Among the Englishmen are yokels with pitchforks. Three Frenchmen, dead or painfully dying, lie in the foreground ; beside them is a drum. The scene is a grassy slope leading to the sea, where distant ships are in action and where four French troop-carrying rafts are foundering. Tiny figures flee into the sea (right). Description from the British Museum.
