Title from pencilled note on verso of print (leaf 161r)
Hand colored
Toulon, the site of the 1744 naval battle that resulted in courts martial for Admiral Thomas Mathews and Vice Admiral Richard Lestock (on which panel Byng sat), was also the staging site for the 1756 French expedition against Minorca that led to Byng's own court martial.
On facing page (leaf 162r of The Tragedy) appears page 113 excised from The Trial. It quotes two letters from Paul Banks dated 21 and 19 [i.e. 29? Banks reports actions of the 23rd, and 24th.] April 1756 to Lieutenant-General Thomas Fowke, the governor of Gibraltar, advising him of the French fleet's departure from Toulon, accompanied by transports of provisions and land forces. He also hopes that Byng will soon sail to prevent the French landing at Mahon.
Ships flying the British flag in the foreground.
