| Title: | Le Débarquement du Chevalier John Bull et de sa Famille a Boulogne sur Mer. The Landing of Sir John Bull & his Family at Boulogne sur Mer, 1792 |
| Description: | Hand-colored aquatint |
In 1792 the dramatist Frederick Reynolds recorded that his ship was met at Calais by forty fishwives who forcibly carried him and his fellow passengers ashore. In this view, the archetypal Englishman John Bull and his family are being similarly transported to the beach at Boulogne.
