- Abstract
-
"Three Bonapartes leap from one to another grass-topped rock set in the sea. There are six, from Corsica, the smallest to Dover, the broadest. The first makes a 'Hop' from 'Corsica' to 'France'. The second stands arms akimbo, head turned in profile to the right., the 1. foot on 'Ambition', the r. planted on a higher rock: 'Power'. This is 'Step'. The third has made a 'Jump' into the air from 'Calais', and descends on to the sword-point of John Bull, who is firmly planted on 'Dover'. Napoleon wears an enormous cocked hat (which flies off in his final leap) with tricolour cockade and plume, tricolour sash over his military coat, tight breeches, and boots. Below the three stages of his progress: '[1] From indigence in Corsica To Affluence in France. [2] From aspiring Ambition To the summit of Power. [3] From Calais to Dover Where little John Bull does the Corsican over'."--British Museum online catalogue
