Extirpation of the Plagues of Egypt;- Destruction of Revolutionary crocodiles;-or- The British Hero Cleansing ye Mouth of ye Nile.
Gillray reflects Nelson's report on the Battle of the Nile with "Revolutionary Crocodiles" with the French ships in tri-colour. Two ships (crocodiles) on the left are shown escaping, two more are shown being clubbed (destroyed) by Nelson's British oak. The flagship L'Orient with the French Commander-in-Chief aboard which appears in Nelson's report as burnt had, in fact, exploded with a blast that was heard and felt 25 miles away in Alexandria. So Gillray shows an open mouthed crocodile on the far right exploding from within.
