The Centinel at his post, or, Boneys peep into Walmer castle!! [graphic].

"Pitt (l.) in volunteer uniform, bayonet in hand, looks over the fortified wall of Walmer Castle into a French gunboat immediately below; he asks: "Who goes there?" The boat, which has a sail (r.), is in the foreground, the stern cut off by the r. margin. Napoleon seated in the bows on the single cannon, sabre in hand, looks over his right. shoulder in consternation, saying, "Ah - Begar! - dot man alive still - turn about Citoyens - for there will be no good to be done - I know his tricks of old!!" Beside him are two officers, one seated, the other trembling with bent knees. On the r. are three frightened Grenadiers, holding muskets. Behind Pitt are castle buildings, flying a large Union flag. Tiny soldiers are indicated."--British Museum online catalogue
