"Lord Lansdowne is about to force down the throat of the Duke of Richmond a part of his model fortifications which are on a dish beside him. These are in the form of a semicircle of gun-embrasures, each marked with a letter of the word '[F]ORTIFICATION'; Lansdowne stands behind Richmond, who is seated, holding him by the arm, with the letter 'F' in a spoon which he holds before Richmond's mouth; Richmond starts back in alarm. The blind Barré, touching the wall to guide himself, enters from the right, leading by the empty right sleeve a lean and erect military officer with a wooden leg, who holds a long spear. On Richmond's table is a paper: 'Morning Post Tuesday March 6th 1787. Marquis La . . s . . . n; This Letter if his Grace thought proper, he would send him under cover to refresh his convenient & accomodating Memory------ Lords Debates'. On the wall (left) behind the table is a plan of fortifications inscribed 'Cherbourg', above it is a scroll inscribed 'en le rose je fleurie' (the Lennox motto, cf. BMSat 7160)."--British Museum online catalogue.
