Effects of Peace, Isaac Cruikshank, 1797

Ten figures arranged in two rows soliloquize on the blessings of peace. The alderman will again have turtle, the sailor will squander his prize-money, the prostitute will do better business, &c. The last is a foppish young officer who says: "i am glad it's all over, what d------d expeditions we have been sent on, bantry bay! the cawdorean attack at fishguard ah that was a desperate business poor lord cawdor, how i pitied him, but now our stern alarms are chang'd to merry meetings! and if i dont make some old codgers feel the effects of peace curse my taylor.
