Three engravings celebrating the capture of the French island of Belle Île (off the Brittany coast) in 1761, during the Seven Years' War.

Initially repelled, the attack was continued with reinforcements and the island was eventually captured. Unable to counter-attack, the French told the British they could keep it if they wanted, but they found that a British base so close to the French mainland was a real problem so, in the Treaty of Paris that ended the war, Belle Île was swapped for Minorca, which France had captured earlier in the war.

Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953), poet and author, also Liberal MP for South Salford (1906-1910). Now chiefly remembered for his early comic and satirical work such as 'The Bad Child's Book of Beasts' (1896), Belloc's work increasingly engaged with historical and political issues. This caricature was made soon after the publication of 'The Cruise of the 'Nona'' (1925), which recalled a voyage around England in a small boat on the eve of war in 1914. By Sir David Low (1891-1963) for the New Statesman. New Zealand-born Low, who described caricature as the art of 'all-in portraiture', published two series of portraits as supplements to the New Statesman. The original drawing for this caricature is in the Victoria & Albert Museum.
