| Description |
English: One of a set of four: see BMSat 7176. France, as an elderly and ugly petit-maître (right), his hat under his arm, holds out obsequiously an empty purse and a snuff-box towards Holland, a stout peasant who kneels at his feet, weeping and clasping his hands in supplication. Behind Holland stand a Prussian soldier, threatening him with his bayonet, and England, a sailor who clenches his fists. In the background (right) is a windmill. Beneath the design is engraved:

| Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) A satire on the failure of France to give the aid to the Dutch Patriots which she had led them to expect. Frederick William of Prussia had been led to intervene by an insult by the Free Corps to his sister, the Princess of Orange, on 28 June. The English naval preparations effectively discouraged French action. For the invasion of the United Provinces by the Duke of Brunswick see BMSat 7176, &c. For the Dutch crisis see also BMSat 7172, &c. For a copy see under BMSat 7176. |

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
