P&E L2004F12

A picture of nine sailors, seated around a table with a steaming punch bowl of wine in the center and each rising his glass in a toast and many enjoying a puff on his pipe. The captain is seated in the center below the crown and shield of the King of England and his motto. The backgound resembles a dining room with portraits of sailors on the wall. The scene is framed by scrolls and a collection of flags and military equipment at the bottom. The initials G.R. appear next to the drum which may identify the engraver. Rectangular. Below the title is printed the four verse toast.
