Title
A sketch of the engagement under the command of Vice Admiral Parker on the Dogger Bank with the Dutch squadron of much superior force Augt 5. 1781
Description
English: A plan of the naval engagement of 5 Aug. 1781, showing the English coast from the Wash to Ipswich and the Dutch coast west and east of the Texel. The English ships, the Dutch fleet in action, and the Dutch convoy are indicated by letters ("A" to "Q"). The English ships are named, and a flag above the surface of the sea shows "A 74 Dutch ship sunk in 22 fathoms of water". The title and the key to the letters indicating the ships are engraved in a rectangle inset at the lower left corner. This rectangle partly conceals an English sailor who strikes with his fist the head of a disconsolate Dutchman, who makes no resistance. The sailor says, "Bla------t my Eyes Get Back in the Texel". The Dutchman says "I'm sinking". 11 August 1781

Notes

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) This engagement was claimed by the English and Dutch as a victory: the Dutch losses exceeded the British, the British homeward-bound convoy returned safely, the Dutch convoy, outward-bound, returned to the Texel in disorder. See W. M. James, 'The British Navy in Adversity', 1926, pp. 310 ff. It was the subject of many Dutch prints, see 'Van Stolk', BMSat 4365-84, 4387-9. (BMSat 4385 and 4386 are English prints of the battle.)

Parker's letter (not dispatch) of 6 Aug. was published in an 'Extraordinary Gazette' of 9 Aug., which suggests that the print may be ante-dated.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
