Abstract: A satirical representation of the Battle of Dettingen, 1743. Overturned canons are piled in a ditch with fascines in the foreground; a large dead limb of a tree separates it from the battle ground. In the left corner the word 'Steelingensat' suggests the scene is a view from the fortress. In the center George II as the white horse of Hanover rides a British lion from whose mouth come the words "Starv'd on Bon pour nicole". The Hanoverian general Otto Christian von Ilten (nicknamed "Confectioner General") confronts the lion and his rider. Also depicted are the French and Austrian generals who shout encouragement to the troups
