The print is inscribed: "HMS Constance, 50 guns. To Captain Sir Baldwin W Walker, KCB, & the Officers of the Ship, this print of the 'Constance' joining the Experimental Squadron, is by permission, respectfully dedicated by their obliged Servant, Henry Andrews Luscombe."
The 'Albion' and 'Hibernia' are shown ahead of 'Constance'; and 'St Vincent', 'Rodney', 'Queen', 'Vanguard' and 'Canopus' are shown in the distance, astern of the 'Constance'.
