| Description: This appears to be a rather cruder English re-engraving of Rigaud's original, first published in Paris in 1736. There are some minor changes of detail, such as the absence of 'tumbling' figures on the lower right slope of the hill. The English and French text below the image copies Rigaud's, with minor changes of authography. |
| Creator: I Rigaud (artist); Towes (engraver); W H Toms (publisher) |
