The English 100-gun ship 'Formidable'

Stylized diagrammatic rendering of ‘Formidable’ in starboard-broadside view, off a crudely drawn clifftop coast surmounted by a castle flying a Union Flag at extreme left (Dover?), with an extensive key to the ship’s rig in the cloudless sky either side of her (in English at left, French at right).

Inscribed below: “Le Formidable Vaisseau Anglois de Cent Pieces de Canon”.
