A young officer runs up to him from the left hat in hand, proffering a field marshal's baton; he says: "General I greet you with the tydeings of complete Victory the Usurper and his Field Marshal have fled, and left all their Cannon, Amunition, Baggage, Military Chest, provision, and I here present you with Marshall Jourdans Baton of command!" Wellington says: "May this Trophy prove--our hope of future victory, and England once more restore Spain to her lawful Soveriegn!" Between and behind them stands a third officer, looking at Wellington with both arms raised ecstatically. On the extreme right and almost in back view an officer looks through a telescope saying, "There goes King Joey!" He looks towards tiny figures on a bluff (left) near the towers of Vittoria. They stand on raised ground in the foreground. Behind (left) English infantry run forward with fixed bayonets; bodies lie on the ground."--British Museum online catalogue</dc:description><dc:description>Title etched below image.</dc:description><dc:description>Printmaker, publisher, and date of publication from British Museum catalogue.</dc:description><dc:description>Plate numbered "206" in upper right corner.</dc:description><dc:description>Plate from: Woodward, G.M.
