Image description

The outbreak of the Seven Years' War and movement of French troops to the ports of Le Havre and Brest raised English fears of an invasion. In 'The Invasion' Plate I set beside a French coastal tavern ("La Sabot Royal") starving ragged French troops prepare to embark while a monk investigates a sledge of torture implements (playing on English fears of popery).
