- Abstract:
- "Satire on disagreements within the Pragmatic Army in the aftermath of the battle of Dettingen suggesting that George II as nominal commander had bowed to Hanoverian interests, failing to drive home the victory. The king, having let the sash of "Poor E[n]g[lan]d" fall to the ground, and wearing the Hanoverian sash marked "16 thousand pounds" (suggesting the British subsidy) raises his arm and orders, "Noli Prosequi" in response to the dominant figure of the moustachioed Hanoverian general Baron Ilton who says, "I must preserve ye K[in]gs Troops"; an astonished young officer, to the right, exclaims, "What preserve & Conserve too". To the left of the king, the Earl of Stair, commander of the British troops, complains, "Would to God he had is Desert", the Duke of Arenberg, commander of Austrian troops, asks "Why don't you lead us on?", and another general says, "Damn such Confectioners". On the far left, John Carteret leans through the window of a coach the wheel of which carries a label reading, "I'm in a Cottage near ye field of Battle"; he says, "God be praised a great Victory" and a young black footman, sitting at the back of a coach wearing a slave collar, agrees, "Amen & they were the aggressors". On the right "The Tribe of Benjamin" (Hanoverian troops), labelled "4 Pounds a Man p[er] Month", lounge and eat beside a gun carriage on which is written, "A Considerable Share in the Victory"; one soldier wears an oak leaf in his hat in reference to the incident during the battle when George II is said to have sheltered under an oak after falling from his horse and to have presented an oak leaf to the soldiers who looked after him; a Hanoverian grenadier in the foreground, exclaims, "Plague of all cowards Say I!". In the background, the British cavalry are ordered to halt while in pursuit of the French."--British Museum online catalogue

On the left, "The Academy for the Noble Art of Boxing NB Mufflers provided for delicate Constitutions" through the windows of which a pugilist can be seen addressing a yong nobleman, and two men boxing.

As likewise the taking ye Standard at the Battle of Dittingen." The next house is built in a variety of styles; beyond, the sea the sun rises "for the Vigilant".

"The Optical Ogle, or polite Curiosity", a young gentleman peering at the women in the carriage through an eye-glass; 6. "An Author", a miserable gentleman with his hands tucked into the breast of his coat who is barked at by two dogs; by contrast, 7. "A Player" reclines comfortably in a sedan chair, a footman walking before him; 8. describes a scene at the door of the house on the right, "The Industrious Tradesman thrust off with Contempt, expecting a just Debt to be paid, to make room for a high Life Gambler [also in a sedan chair], politely usher'd in to receive his Debt of Honour"; behind this group is, 9. "A Feather of the Turf", a man mounted on a high gig drives two horses, and 10. "The Balance of Merit in this happy Climate for useless Exotics, [where] A French Dancing Master obtains 300£ pr. Ann. & a clear Benefit worth near 300£ more, while the Ingenious English Shipwright, tho' Assistant to the Honour Profit & Defence of his Country, by hard Labour barely obtains 40£ pr. Ann."; on the left, 11. a hearse drives into the scene with "The Corps[e] of a Blood, conveying to Interment, who boldly lost his Life in a Duel defending the Reputation of a Prostitute"; 12. is the house beside the sea, "Modern Architecture The Corinthian, Venetian, Gothic & Chinese huddled in one Front,"; 13. an old woman leaning out of an upper window calling to a woman and two men at the door represents "Modern Hospitality in the Character of Old Age, left to take care of Furniture, & answer Duns that the Family is in the Country"; 14. fishing boats at sea are reminders that "One British Buss [fishing boat] of more service to the Community than ten Italian Singers"."--British Museun online catalogue
