"Figures representing the five countries who were at war. A tall Dutchman stands looking up with a face of despair, in his left hand he holds out a paper inscribed, "Eustatia lost, Oh! Oh!" He says, "I shall Die, I'm undone! My best hope is now gone!" A laughing English sailor (left) standing on his right holds a small bottle inscribed "Gin" to his nose, saying, "High & Mighty's [an allusion to 'Hogen Mogen', "the high mightiness", or the States General of the United Provinces] your Grief, Smell this for Relief." In his right hand he holds a netted purse taken from the Dutchman. On the right stand the other enemy powers: Spain, in slashed doublet, cloak, feathered hat, and top-boots, is reading a newspaper 'Gaze', ['London Gazette'] and sayings "If this News is true, It will make us all rue." Behind him are France (left) and America (right). France holds up his hands with an expression of alarm, saying, "St Eustatia by Gar, Vas de Storehouse of War." America, a slim youth, the most insignificant of the five, is saying, "America now, To Old England must bow.""--British Museum online catalogue
