This engraving was prepared by Lodge, published on 1 October 1782 by J. Fielding of Paternoster Row, J. Sewell of Cornhill and J. Debrett of Piccadilly, and issued with the September 1782 number of the 'European Magazine'. It depicts the Rock from the Spanish town of La Linea with the Spanish troops encamped and deployed in the foreground. The English fleet appears in the middle distance with Gibraltar and its fortifications in the backgound. SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION.
