Théologie á la Turque : the pale of the Church of Mahomet / etched by Js. Gillray, from the original intercepted sketch.

Print shows a French civilian about to be impaled on a spike planted in the desert. He is carried by two Turks, in a sitting posture, one supporting his legs, and clasps in the left hand a paper: 'Le Prophete demasqué', while in the right is raised a large volume: 'L'Imposture de Mahomet'. A cleric follows the group, declaiming from his open 'ALKORAN'. In the background is a Frenchman holding on his head a large turban, his discarded hat lying on the ground. He looks over his shoulder with a grin at the impending execution.
