A caricature of a privateer Captain Fall, in the middle between his men, a Lieutenant on the left in profile and a boatswain on the right [labels at the top of the engraving]. Below the engraving is the title, and information on the artist and publisher.
"... Captain William Fall in the Sans Peur of nineteen guns bombarded the town of Arbroath, which had refused to pay ransom, and a few days later captured two British privateers of sixteen and eight guns after a sharp action within close range of batteries on the Scotch coast ..."--A naval history of the American Revolution by G.W. Allen, p. 599.
It is unclear if Capt. Fall was American or British, but his ship, "Sans Peur" seems to cause nuisance off the British Coast during the 1780s.
