                            The Duke of Marlborough at Blenheim, 1704.
The battle was fought by the allied army, under Marlborough and Prince Eugene, against the French and Bavarians on the 13th August, 1704.  This was Marlborough's greatest achievement, and on the evening of the battle he wrote on a slip of paper, torn from his memorandum-book,  "I have not time to say more, but to beg you will give my duty to the Queen, and let her know her army has had a glorious victory.  Monsieur Tallard and two other generals are in my coach.  I am following the rest.  The bearer, my aide-de-camp, Col. Parke. will give her an account of what has passed.  I shall do it in a day or two by another, more at large.

Condition of Engraving is Very Good, with damp stain in the Margin.  (See Photo).
