D'Eon (r.) dressed as a man and wearing jack boots, astride on the back of Time holding his scythe and hour-glass, flies across the Channel towards four satyrs who hold out a British flag to receive him. The figures have numbers which refer to notes engraved beneath the print, 1, a nude satyr holding aloft the cap of liberty; 2, a nude satyr with legal wig and bands; 4, a satyr wearing a short coat; and 5, a satyr wearing a woman's low-cut bodice. No. 3, in back view, is a wine-merchant with wine bottles slung round his shoulders, he watches d'Eon through a telescope.
<p><br>The background is a view of the Channel, with two vessels, and Calais (r.) in the distance.  ? July 1771
