"BATTLEORUM: The head of an officer scowling angrily; he wears cocked hat and gorget. From his shoulders are suspended chain-shot, pistols, and bandolier. Below are kettle-drum, cartouche-box, musket, sword, and bayonet. BILLINGSGATINA: A buxom and comely fish-wife shouting her wares. A chain of eels, lobster, crab reaches a basket in which are oysters and large fish. The above two heads were closely copied, c. 1815, as a French caricature (title 'Caricature Angloise. N° 5') of Napoleon: 'Mons. va de bon-Cœur Caporale', and 'Mme Esturgion.' TRAFFICORUM: The head of a bearded Jew, wearing a hat, calling his wares with a cunning side-glance. These are draped from his shoulders and rest upon an open pedlar's box filled with scissors, spectacles, razors, spoons, purses, knives, rosaries, seals, a watch."--British Museum online catalogue

An imitation of the celebrated Paris sign-board of the restaurant Au Boeuf à la mode, rue de Valois, of which there is a French print. ... A cow wearing a hat, cravat, and shawl gazes to the right. On hind-legs (left) are boots of Hessian type, on the fore-legs cross-gartered slippers; a miniature of a bull hangs from her neck. Rowlandson's design has more resemblance to and probably derives from another version of this subject, engraved by Leclerc after Laucon ...

"Bonaparte stands on the sea-shore, about to embark (on 23 Aug. 1799) in a boat (left) which will take him to a ship in full sail (the 'Muiron'). He looks with a sly leer to the right, where a little band of ragged and emaciated French soldiers hurry towards him making gestures of dismay. He wears the embroidered fastened coat or tunic with a sash of authentic portraits, without a hat; he points up towards a vision in the sky surrounded by massive clouds of a sceptre and imperial crown superimposed on the revolutionary fasces and axe. Above the general flies a figure of Fame, smiling sardonically and pointing down derisively. Two soldiers in cocked hats who stand in the boat waiting for Bonaparte to embark greedily hug large money-bags. A plank slants from the boat to the shore. The boat has a figure-head composed of two heads facing opposite ways wearing a single coronet. Behind the French troops is a small encampment with tricolour tents and flags. Behind this stretches a vast Turkish camp with crescent flags."--British Museum online catalogue
