At left, a young man aboard a ship bows to an older man, saying, "Sr. your commands." The elder man sits disdainfully, his left foot resting on a canon.
Accompanied by 8 lines of verse: From Mid. to Lieutenant/ Bluff quickly doth rise;/ Then next gets command/ By the aid of a Prize./ By brave Warren and such/ Our foes were opprest;/ And not by boy captains / Just wean'd from the breast.
Numbered 43 at lower right, suggesting it may have been part of a series.
A colored copy of this engraving is in the National Maritime Museum; in pencil on this copy: 3089 B.M.C.
On leaf 40r of The Tragedy of Admiral Byng, 1756-1757
