A Toast for New France Two glum-looking Frenchmen drinking wine sit on wooden chairs either side of a table. Both are wearing a uniform of striped trousers and a blue coat with red collars and cuffs, gold buttons and gold shoulder knots. The man on the left is wearing a 'bonnet rouge' with a cockade and the man on the right, who has a hole in the elbow of his coat, is wearing a bicorn hat. The man on the left toasts: "May the names of Howe, St Vincent, Duncan, Nelson and Warren be eternally erased from our recollection." Behind the chair in the right is an emaciated cat. 1 Nov 1798
