Landscape. On one side of a piece of paper roughly 25 x 41 cm. In poor condition: aged and damp stained, with loss to top-right and bottom-right hand corners (in neither case affecting text or design). Laid down on a piece of white paper. Title and small portrait head of Moore surrounded by an ornate calligraphic embellishment. The poem, of nine heroic couplets arranged in two columns, is engraved in copperplate, and begins 'Lamented Moore! for thee our grief how just' and ends 'Each Soldier mourns his Leader now no more.' In the top left-hand corner is 'Plate 20', but the use of the phrase 'Published as the Act directs' suggests separate publication.
