A horse snorting violently, its head down and hind legs in the air; his rider, George III, has lost his seat and is about to fall head downwards. In his hand is a scourge to each lash of which is attached either a sword, sabre, bayonet, scalping-knife, or axe; he wears the ribbon and star of the Garter. Behind (r.), a French officer walks (r. to left.) towards the horse, carrying a large fleur-de-lys flag over his right. shoulder. Cf. BMSat 5230, and see BMSat 5544-7, 5574. 1 August 1779
