"General Theobald Dillon (three-quarter length) is being murdered by French soldiers, ruffianly fellows, most of whom wear cocked hats with a tricolour cockade. He is pierced with many bayonets, and his throat is cut; his head is dragged backwards by a man who grasps his hair in hands and teeth. He puts up an arm crying, "oh le Pauvre Dillon". A man with sabre raised to slash again, says, "Encore Encore." Two of the men say "Ca-ira". One who is using his bayonet says, "oh by Gar dis will be de brave news for de new association in England."--British Museum online catalogue
