Buonapartè 48 hours after landing! vide John Bulls home-stroke, armed en masse / [graphic]

"The head of Napoleon in profile to the left, is held high on a pitchfork by John Bull, whose head and shoulders only are visible. He is a volunteer, an armed yokel, his loose hair and check neckcloth going ill with his military coat and epaulets. He wears a three-cornered hat turned up with a favour inscribed 'Britons strike home', and with a bunch of oak-leaves. A background of similar heads, fat and smiling, recedes in perspective : a crowd holding up their bayoneted muskets and looking up at the bleeding head; some wave their hats. They have a Union flag. John says: "Ha! my little Boney! - what do'st think of Johnny Bull now? - Plunder Old England! hayy? - ravish all our Wives & Daughters! hay - O Lord help that silly Head! - to think that Johnny Bull would ever suffer those Lanthorn Jaws to become King of Old England's Roast-Beef & Plumpudding!" Above the design: 'This is to give information for the benifit of all Jacobin Adventurers, that Policies are now open'd at Lloyd's - where the depositer of One Guinea is entitled a Hundred if the Corsican Cut-throat is Alive 48 Hours after Landing on the British Coast.'"--British Museum online catalogue
