Abstract

Two French soldiers with drawn sword threaten two kneeling English women while an old lady stands behind

Description
Title etched below image.
Probably a later reissue by Tegg or a plate originally published by Piercy Roberts; Roberts's imprint in lower left is heavily scored through but still partially legible. Tegg's imprint was added below Roberts's obscured imprint for the initial reissue but is burnished from the plate in this later reissue.
Publication information inferred from imprint, "London, Pubd. Janry. 1 [1807] by T. Tegg, 111 Cheapside", on earlier reissue; the year in this imprint is scored through but legible, suggesting that the plate was reissued several times. Cf. British Museum online catalogue, registration no.: 1948,0214.725.
Plate numbered "282" in upper right corner.
Plate from: Woodward, G.M. Caricature magazine, or Hudibrastic mirror. London : Thomas Tegg, [1808?], v. 4.
Also issued separately.
Sheet trimmed within plate mark on top and bottom edges.
Not in the Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum. Division I, political and personal satires.
Leaf 59 in volume 4.
