Lettering: Cet exemple d'un chef plein de reconnaissance qui punit les mechans et les bons recompance ... Callot. Israel excudit. Bears number bottom right : 18. Translation of lettering: This example of a grateful leader who punishes the evil and rewards the good, should prick soldiers with the goad of honor, since all their happiness depends on virtue and they ordinarily receive from via shame, scorn and the most infamous punishment. Lettering continues in French underneath the print describing the event in verse.
