About this work
Satirical print with a scale weighing the loss of Namur by the Allies to the French against the destruction of French ships by the Allies during the victory at La Hogue, 1692. Despite the devil's efforts, the scale tips in favor of the ship symbolizing the naval battle at Cape La Hogue. On the left, the Allies, including Admirals Russell and Almonde. On the right, the French, including King Louis XIV, the Duke of Luxembourg, and Madame de Maintenon. Below the plate, verses in three columns in Dutch and French.
