"[Left image]: A stout English soldier pursues with clenched fists two French soldiers, who are emaciated 'petits-maîtres'. They wear long pigtail queues, ruffled shirts, and large top-boots. The Englishman says, "Lower your Topsails Monsieurs"; the Frenchmen say "We are bold Frenchmen". The Englishman is trampling on a French flag which lies on the ground. A British flag is partly visible on the left behind the Englishman. In the distance (right) a party of French soldiers is seen in flight, over them is inscribed, "Run Frogs". [Right image]: A French soldier (left), with clenched fists, kicks the back of a fat English soldier. He says "Begar zee will make you nozv lower your Topsails". The fleeing Englishman looks round to say "I'm an English man of War". In the distance (right) English soldiers with a flag, the words "Run Beef Heads" inscribed over their heads, are in flight. The British flag, inscribed "Discolour'd", lies on the ground. A French flag, inscribed "Lewis le Grand", extends over the head of the victorious Frenchman."--British Museum online catalogue
