Aquatint with two views of the same warship. Top, three-quarters view, facing the stern, upon which the ship's name, "Hollandia", appears. Also on the stern is a coat of arms with the motto, " Honi soit qui mal y pense" (English: Let he who thinks ill of it be shamed; the motto of the Order of the Garter). There are three masts; they and the bowsprit are shown broken, which is a device to allow the artist to avoid depicting sails and rigging as opposed to an indication of damage. Below is a side view of the same ship, showing the figurehead, which is a mermaid holding a globus cruciger. The globus cruciger is a symbol of Christian royal authority. The side view also displays the Hollandia's four tiers of cannon.
In the lower margin the artist attributions are printed, along with "Published as the Act directs by G.J. and G. Robinson, Paternoster Row, August 1st 1800."
A pencilled inscription in the margin identifies the Hollandia as having been built at Amsterdam in 1682.
