The three galloping horses are suddenly checked by a French soldier, on horseback, and by another man beside him. A man with a dagger on the extreme left pursues the carriage. The soldier, putting his finger to his nose, leans towards the King, saying, "Aha B--gre, Croyez vous échaper comme cà". The off horse, on which the postilion is seated, falls; the man looks round shouting. The King and Queen are terror-stricken; she screams "Nous sommes tons Foutus". A servant, standing at the back of the carriage says, "Parbleu Je sens tres fort la lanterne". All have expressions of violent emotion; the Dauphin is howling. On the extreme left is a milestone: 'Sens II lieu'."--British Museum online catalogue</dc:description><dc:description>Titles etched below image; the word "royal" in alternative title is etched above the line, inserted with a caret.</dc:description><dc:description>Attributed to Rowlandson by Grego.</dc:description><dc:description>Publication date follows "London" and precedes publisher's statement in imprint.</dc:description><dc:description>Mounted on leaf 34 of volume 4 of 14 volumes.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
