Broadside, etching with letterpress. Sheet 570 x 390mm (22½ x 15¼"). Repairs and creases.
A Dutch satire on Catholic Europe in the aftermath of the Glorious Revolution. In the centre, a peg-legged Louis XIV is restrained by Johann George III, Elector of Saxony, watched by the Dauphin who sits on a war-wagon drawn by huge toads. To the left is an ass ridden by Father Edward Petre, James II's Jesuit chaplain, who holds the Prince of Wales while Mary of Modena rides behind. In the background William III arrives in England while James stands, in armour, surrounded by his supporters.
