Title |
The Applied Censure, or Coup de Grace |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: Satire on the consequences of the Battle of Minden showing the British lion trampling on Lord Sackville (whose inadequacy as a commander had put allied success at risk) while he grasps the French cock who excretes the names of recent French losses in Amerca and Africa; the horse of Hanover (representing Ferdinand of Brunswick, commander of the Hanoverian army) has kicked down Louis XV but says that if Sackville had obeyed his orders the battle would would have been even more conclusive. Louis curses Maria Theresa ("the Hung[a]ry queen") and vomits up Westphalia, Hanover and Hesse (the states from which he now had to withdraw); a dog (? the Netherlands) urinates on Louis saying that he will "now pick the Bones of Old English Roast Beef in peace and quietness". In the background, to right, French troops retreat.

editThis 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. ![]() |
