This allegorical print depicts Britain's maintaining their Rights over the French dream to have a universal monarchy. On the left of this image are goddess Britannia, gods Mars and Neptune, encouraging the British. An English lion roars "I'll pluck your feathers for you in plain English" to a fleeing French rooster that crows "Peccavi!" On the right are figures representing the Genius of France, and French Politicians who bow their heads in shame. At the far right is a smug "Jack Tar" who gloats of the British victory., This print is in good condition.
