- Abstract
-
"Napoleon runs away from Talleyrand, who aims a violent kick at him with the heavy surgical shoe on his right foot, raising his crutched stick to smite the fugitive. Napoleon holds his hat, a bicorne, and looks over his shoulder with a terrified stare to say: "Votre tres humble Serviteur Monsieur Tally." Talleyrand, furiously vindictive, exclaims: "Va ten Cocquin I'll crack your Crown you pitiful Vagabond." He holds a bulky document: 'Abdication or the Last Dying Speech of a Murderer Who is to be difered [sic] into the hands of the Devil the first fair Wind.' Beside Napoleon a gibbet with a dangling noose serves as sign-post, pointing 'To the Isle of Elba'. Across a piece of water on the extreme left is an islet on which is a high gallows from which hang six tiny corpses. In the background a British sailor with a bludgeon is running by the shore; he says: "What let him sneak of without a Mark or a Scratch No No I'll darken his Day Lights for him." Behind Talleyrand maimed French soldiers are running forward as fast as crutches and infirmity allow. Three have fallen; the foremost says: "Bone him my Tight little Tally"."--British Museum online catalogue
