Notes:  For this image the artist, presumably Boston publisher John Norman, adapted a memorial engraving of William, Duke of Cumberland, which first appeared in The London Magazine of 1765. He removed elements of the image which did not suit his purpose, converting a memorial image into a crude allegorical representation of Britannia deploring her loss of America.
