Hand-coloured etching, plate 350 x 245mm (13¾ x 9¾"), with large margins. Crease on right going through plate mark. Small nick in right margin. Bit messy.
Attack on Charles Lennox (1735-1806), 3rd Duke of Richmond and Lennox blaming him for the coalition loss at siege of Dunkirk and the Battle of Hondschoote in 1793. The Duke stands between two posts, supporting himself by a hand on each. He looks down and to the right, with a dismayed expression, vomiting a cascade of munitions of war: weapons, cannon, drums, &c, a fortress, a baggage-wagon, a windmill. One post (right) is inscribed '4 Per Chaldron 20,000 pr Anm', the other, 'Heriditary Income D'Aubigne'. A scroll floats towards him from the upper left corner of the design inscribed: 'Thou hast done those things thou ought not to have done And hast left undone those things thou oughfi to have done.'

Etching with hand colour, sheet 375 x 275mm (14¾ x 10¾"). On 18th century watermarked paper. Trimmed within plate. Right corner torn. Small hole in foliage.
Satire on the Duke of Richmond's, Charles Lennox (1735-1806), Master-General of the Ordnance, controversial scheme to fortify the south coast of England. The Duke of Richmond sits sadly in a sentry-box resembling a garden latrine, gesturing toward tiny model fortifications at his feet, which are being fired on by larger, more permanent ones. He holds a newspaper showing the vote by which his defense scheme was defeated. A miniature cannon beside him is labeled Ratio Ultima Regum ("the last argument of kings"), and an upside-down naval print inside the box suggests his plan undermined naval defense.
