Summary
[edit]DescriptionMilord North et la femme du gouverneur de la Grenade 1779.jpg |
English: Poster. Lord (or "milord") North and the governor's wife (from Grenada). French propaganda print after the French victory in Grenada in 1779 during the American Revolutionary War.
Left: Prime Minister, Lord North, lowering his head to the wife of the governor Grenada, who shows him a picture of the capture of Grenada by the French. Seated in the center: the King of England: "The loss of Grenada makes me sick." Seated at left, Albion (Britannia): "Our business of America gives me the colic." Below: Lord North, "If you had defended against the climbing (of the walls with ladders), he would not have taken Grenada from you." Response of the governor's wife: "My lord, we defended ourselves in vain, and then had to cede to Count d'Estaing." The governor's wife is depicted in a version of extreme late-1770s fashions (see File:Mlle Des Victoire coiffure à la Grenade 1779.jpg), with a version of a British ensign hanging down from the back of her hair. A fleur-de-lis banner hangs from the wall of the fortress.
