Abstract:
"Wellington, handsome and youthful, stands beside his white charger; he wears a star (K.G., 4 Mar. 1813) and a star dangles from his horse's head. A young officer runs up to him from the left hat in hand, proffering a field marshal's baton; he says: "General I greet you with the tydeings of complete Victory the Usurper and his Field Marshal have fled, and left all their Cannon, Amunition, Baggage, Military Chest, provision, and I here present you with Marshall Jourdans Baton of command!" Wellington says: "May this Trophy prove--our hope of future victory, and England once more restore Spain to her lawful Soveriegn!" Between and behind them stands a third officer, looking at Wellington with both arms raised ecstatically. On the extreme right and almost in back view an officer looks through a telescope saying, "There goes King Joey!" He looks towards tiny figures on a bluff (left) near the towers of Vittoria. They stand on raised ground in the foreground. Behind (left) English infantry run forward with fixed bayonets; bodies lie on the ground."--British Museum online catalogue
