- Abstract
-
"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, cf. BMSat 9160, are foundering. Tiny figures flee into the sea (right)."--British Museum online catalogue
