"Terrific Combat between Titus Manlius and a Gaul of gigantic Stature" is a pen and ink illustration created by English artist John Leech. The work is humorous, featuring a small Roman soldier, Titus Manlius, facing a much larger Gaul. The exaggerated proportions and expressions create a comical effect, typical of Leech's style. While the scene is a humorous rendition of a historical battle, it also highlights the contrast between the two figures and their differing sizes. This drawing is likely from a satirical magazine of the mid-19th century and demonstrates Leech's talent for visual storytelling.
