- Abstract
-
"Wellington on the extreme left, seated in profile on his white horse, looks down at three officers who heap trophies at his feet. He says: "Why! here's enough for three nights Illumination!" An officer answers: "Three times Three! My Lord!!" Another, holding two eagles with their tattered tricolour flags, holds out a marshal's baton, saying, "Here's Marshal Jordens Rolling-pin." The third, wearing hussar uniform, and holding an eagle with a flag inscribed 'La Emperu . . .', points behind and to the right, saying, "And here comes their Last Cannon!!" In the middle distance a soldier is dragging after him downhill a cannon by a rope attached to the muzzle; he says, grinning, "By St Patrick I think we have taken all they brought from Parts!"; a drummer bestrides the gun beating his drum and shouting, and a third man stands astride it on the gun-carriage, waving a Union flag and his shako and shouting "Huzza Huzza". Two asses are harnessed tandem to the gun-carriage and are being dragged backwards, one slides on its haunches the other rears; on each is a French soldier wearing a bonnet rouge; one says: "By Gar every ting goes backwards with us." On the hill lies a dead soldier' burlesqued and wearing a bonnet rouge, his legs raised from the ground by his huge spurs; near him is a decapitated body with the detached head still wearing a grenadier's cap. In the foreground (right) are sacks of coin, and a chest inscribed 'Plunder', heaped with church plate."--British Museum online catalogue
