From the Rambler's Magazine. Britannia (right), holding her shield as if trundling it, tries to escape from Washington, who holds her by a lock of her short hair, flourishing a scourge with thirteen knotted lashes. Behind Washington walk France and Spain, followed (left) by Holland. Washington wears a military coat, hat, sword, gorget, and a petticoat. France is the conventional 'petit-maître' dressed in the French manner; he holds a drawn sword in his right hand and points with the other at Britannia. Spain wears a feathered hat and ruff. Holland is a plainly dressed Dutch burgher with short jacket and bulky breeches. Britannia says, "Is it thus my Children should treat me". Washington answers, "Parents Should not behave like Tyrants to their Children". France says, "Encore mon Amy Encore". Spain is saying, "Me wish you Stripe her well". Holland, behind the others, and on the extreme left, says, "Minheer deserves to be Striped for a Fool". 1 April 1783
