French invasion, or, Buonaparté landing in Great-Britain [graphic].

"A burlesqued battle-piece. A French army on the sea-shore flees in wild confusion from the fire of a group of English soldiers with a Union flag and two cannon on a low sandy cliff (right). Clouds of smoke suggest an intense cannonade from invisible British troops. In the centre of the French fugitives is Napoleon spurring a white horse, his sabre flying into the air from his outstretched right hand. Two other officers are mounted, one hurls away a banner with skull and cross-bones; the rest are infantry. Corpses, decollated heads, weapons, &c, lie on the ground, trampled on by fugitives. On the horizon are men-of-war; in the sea, ships boats in advance or retreat. The British are realistically drawn, the French are burlesqued. The former wear shakos, their first appearance in these prints."--British Museum online catalogue
