The tyrant of the continent is fallen, Europe is free, England rejoices [graphic].Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827, printmaker[1 May 1814]eng"Napoleon (left) looks up terrified at an arm holding a sword emerging from clouds (right), with the words: "Thou'rt doom'd to Pain, at which the Damn'd will tremble | And take their own for Joys--." The sword has a jagged blade, intended to symbolize flames. He wears plain uniform with epaulets; his small bicorne is falling off. On the right, beneath the avenging arm, is Napoleon's chair of state, overturned; beside it are heaped a large fringed canopy or curtain, a spiky crown (cf. British Museum Satires No. 12252), and sceptre. From behind the folds of the curtain the Devil emerges, winged and ferocious; he grasps Napoleon's leg. Beside Napoleon is a pile of crowns and gold plate. There are heavy clouds behind Napoleon and on the right, above and below the arm and sword."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Printmaker from British Museum catalogue.Text below title: Empire and victory be all forsaken, to plagues, poverty, disgrace & shame, strip me of all my dignities and crowns.
