Elizabeth Gunning astride a cannon firing by the pen of her mother a blast of forged letters at the facade of Blenheim - which a figure defends with a blast of excrement - the Duchess of Bedford offers her petticoat as cover while General Gunning retreats from the battlefield; satirizing the Gunning scandal.
