Title

A correct view of the French gun boat (La Grashe feu.) Etched by Dighton from a drawing taken from the vessel. The Gun boat was taken by Capt Sr Richd Strahan (sic) Strachan. Strahan is a mistake on the drawing, the books text is correct naming him as Strachan.

This drawing is by Robert Dighton. The Gun boat was captured by Capt Sr Richd Strahan (sic) Strachan. Strahan is a mistake on the drawing, the text in the book is correct naming him as Strachan (Sir Richard Strachan, 6th Baronet). The book is a satire but this drawing is actual fact. Therefore this is not a cartoon as such.
