Description

Grafik aus dem Klebeband Nr. 18 der Fürstlich Waldeckschen Hofbibliothek Arolsen

Einblattdruck "Franckreichs übel zugerichte Fortuna / Oder die biß zu End geloffner Campagne Traurige Jobs-Posten", koloriert

Personen: Fortuna, Franckreich, Vom Schellenberg 3. Iuly, Vom Höchstätt 13. Aug., Von der Sec 24. Aug.

English: France's badly damaged Fortuna, or the campaign for sad jobs posts that has been open to the end : Cartoon following the French defeat at the Battle of Blenheim on 13 August 1704. A female personification of France, wearing a classical gilded military breastplate, sits attentively at the bedside of the personification of Fortuna, who has had her feet and hands chopped off. At left Jupiter as an eagle displays a map of the Danubian battlefields and throws an encouraging thunderbolt of war to the figure of France, who on her other side is receiving at the same time from a celestial messenger news of the loss of Landau. Wounded and partially denuded messengers, one ringing small bells, enter at right from the Danubian battlefields of Höchstätt (called in England "Blenheim") and Schellenberg. One points in addition to the figure of Icarus plummeting from the sky into the sea. However the figure of France appears stubbornly unmoved.
