Coloured etching, 18th century watermark; Sheet 280 x 420mm (11 x 16½"). Trimmed to image on three sides, into plate at bottom. Vertical crease on left.
King Frederick William of Prussia uses his foot to push forward a blindfolded Pitt, who sets fire to two cities marked Cronstadt and 'Rerel'. The resulting smoke covers Russian Riga, Poland, Germany and Austria. To Frederick's left is Henry Fox, Baron Holland, as a fat burgher, saying "What a blessed Alliance". In the far left is a citizen reading newspaper headlines about the loss of Baltic trade and new taxes on Malt and Porter. To the right is a boat with four men: the helmsman says, "I would rather be a Baltic trader"; oarsmen say, "Do not mind it, it will bring other wars" and "No prize money"; a man looking through a telescope says, "No Galeons - Storms, Sholas & Rocks." A man standing on the shore shouts to the boat "nothing good to be got by it". The satire suggests that Frederick was more interested in acquiring Danzig (Gdansk) while suggesting to Pitt that the Russian occupation of Oczakoff (renamed Odessa by Catherine II) was of more importance, so Britain would help fulfil his ambition. BM Satires 7847.

A picturesque view of the Causey Arch, a single-arched bridge built for a horse-drawn railway for transporting coal from Tanfield Coal works to the River Tyne. Built 1725-6 by stonemason Ralph Wood, it was the longest single-span bridge in the country with an arch span of 31 metres (102 ft), a record it held until 1756. Over 900 horse-drawn wagons crossed each day. In the 19th century, the wooden track was replaced with metal rails, and horses were replaced by stationary steam winding engines. The line closed in 1962 but the arch was restored in the 1980s for public use. Engraved by J.C. Stadler after a watercolour by the Newcastle artist Joseph Atkinson.
