Note
"Pubd. Aprl. 14th 1783 ..."
Authorship attributed to James Gillray.
Satire on Britain's loss of the American colonies; on the right, John Bull, standing next to a broken anchor, raises his arms in despair saying, "'Tis lost! Irrecoverably lost!" Above his head, a demon flies away with a partially rolled up map of "America" while a Frenchman standing to his right offers him snuff as consolation. Behind the Frenchman, an angry Spaniard gestures toward Gibraltar, where a naval battle rages. On the far left, a Dutchman represented by the ill dressed man on the right, continued their negotiations into 1784.
