- Abstract:
- "British troops are about to march through a large fortified gate leading from open country (left) to the town of Buenos Ayres, where confused street-fighting is in progress. Can are fired from the battlements of the gate at the soldiers, some of whom lie dead or wounded. In the foreground an officer (mounted), in conversation with others, asks: "where is the General"; others say: "go look for the General"; "Find the General"; "why the General is lost". A Highland officer, taking snuff (right), slyly; "I dare say he is varra safe." From the country (left) three mounted men gallop, all saying, "I come for Orders". In the background Whitelocke's head and shoulders are seen peeping over a hillock on the extreme left. He says: "He that fights and runs away, May live to fight another day, But he thats in the Battle slain, Will never live to fight again". In the distance, behind him, are tiny (British) soldiers in close formation. In the city men are firing and hurling stones from the roofs of flat-roofed houses on British soldiers in the plaza. On the wall (right) is a placard: 'Lost, or Mis-led a General officer Who ever can [give] Information ... ampl[y] rewarded.'"--British Museum online catalogue
