- Abstract
-
"Five elderly, old-fashioned doctors stand in consultation in a row behind Napoleon (r.), who vomits, saying, "My Dear Doctors! those sacre Anglois have play'd the Devil vun [?] my constitution pray tell me what is the matter with me, I felt the first symptoms when I told Genl Macke I wanted ships, collonies & commerce - Oh! dear - Oh dear! I shall want more ships now; this is a cursed sensation - O I am very qualmish." He drops an 'Extraordinary Gazette 19 Sail of the Line taken by Ld Nelson'. He stands in profile to the right. with flexed knees. The doctor behind him pulls down his breeches and peers towards him; he says: "Begar me have found it out - your heart be in your breeches." The next doctor exclaims: "A desperate case"; the third says: "I recommend bleeding". The two on the extreme left. consult together; one says: "Irrecoverable". They wear tie-wigs with old-fashioned dress: Napoleon wears uniform with large bicorne hat and boots."--British Museum online catalogue
