Prince Hilt's, Alias Duke d'Anglem's Narrow Escape After Exposing His Precious Person in Performing Prodigies of Valor Behind the House--!!

Etched caricature by and after C. W(illiams). 'A supposed incident in the action outside San Sebastian on 9 April. Angoulême, and a second officer of rank and two soldiers are terror-struck at a cannonade from the fortress of San Sebastian, the name on a flag flying from a citadel on the extreme left. From within the walls rise the words: What you can run, when you 're frightened eh!—we are not conquered yet, and with the support of England will ever cry Liberty or Death. The masonry of a wall and an ancient stone building is breached (left); a huge cannon-ball bounds off to the right. Angoulême, with his right hand clapped to his posterior and holding his sheathed sword in his right hand, looks over his shoulder towards the citadel, exclaiming Parbleu vat is dat—sauve qui peut!! He wears a cocked hat with a helmet-crown on which stands a crowing Gallic cock; it has two enormous feathers, one red, one blue, both half-white. His companion, probably Prince Hohenlohe, throws up both arms in terror. The two soldiers are equally terrified; one holds up an infant spiked on a bayonet, the other's bayonet transfixes a cat. In the background are dead and fleeing French-men. In the foreground (left) lie a Proclamation across a Bulletein, with a pen and overturned ink-bottle, and two orders on ribbons' -- British Museum Etched caricature by and after C. W(illiams).
