Notes
A messenger on horseback approaches the doorway of a building to the right of the design, in front of which stand a group of gentlemen wearing wigs. To the left, the front ranks of an army are visible, and in the background are tents. The foremost soldier carries a banner showing a white horse (which may represent the white horse of Hanover).
Additions made to the etching throughout in dark brown ink, apparently by contemporary hand.
