- Abstract
-
"Napoleon, trampling over the map of Europe from 'Germany' to the 'British Channel', drops his sabre and raises his left leg, leaving behind the front part of his left foot, planted on the coast and sea between 'Holland' and 'France'. The foot has been slashed off by a little John Bull, who stands on the ocean pointing down at the two islands of 'Great Britain' and 'Ireland', towards which the amputated foot points. John holds a dripping sword, and looks up at the angry giant, saying, "I ax pardon Master Boney, but as we says Paws off Pompey, we keep this little Spot to Ourselves You must not Dance here Master Boney." Blood gushes from both sides of the amputation. Bonaparte, who wears his huge cocked hat, shouts, with gestures of pain and anger: "Ah you tam John Bull!! You have spoil my Dance, !! You have ruin all my Projets!!" 'Switzerland' and 'Italy' are also marked on the map in close proximity to France."--British Museum online catalogue
