How are we ruined!

£400 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

A scarce print related to the Nootka Sound Controversy. The print depicts three gentlemen sitting around a table looking at an issue of the Times and an issue of the Gazetteer . The Englishman looks very happy and has a document in his pocket entitled Pension. The Frenchman(?) looks very unhappy and the third gentleman (possibly a Spaniard), appears to be throwing up! In the background, someone is pinning a map to the wall showing the Pacific Ocean, Nootka Sound, and Toulon. There is another document on the wall entitled Bounty Discontinued.
