Note
Satirical print. A thin, dandified Frenchman greets a chubby, happy John Bull, representing England, at the end of the Seven Years' War. England appears prosperous in large part due to the success of the East India Company, despite the fact that her coffers are straining as a result of the war debt. The Frenchman appears impoverished due to the loss of most of Canada.
