Below are kettle-drum, cartouche-box, musket, sword, and bayonet. BILLINGSGATINA: A buxom and comely fish-wife shouting her wares.

"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.

"A tall pillar, supporting an allegorical design of Britannia and covered with figures and objects in high relief, stands upon a rock in a stormy sea, waves dashing against it. The square base is supported by figures of Fortitude, with a lion, her left hand on a broken pillar, and Justice, with an ostrich, her scales not balanced. Between them is inscribed: 'To Perpetuate the Destruction of the Regicide Navy of France, and the Triumph of the British Flag'. It rests on two slabs of stones inscribed with the names of admirals: (below) 'Howe', 'Parker', 'Nelson', 'St Vincent', 'Bridport'; (above) 'Duncan', 'Gardiner', 'Keith', 'Hood'. On the summit tritons blowing horns support a shell in which stands Britannia with shield and trident. In her right hand stands a tiny figure of Victory. Beside her an angry lion grasps a globe showing the British Isles and 'le Mer'. The capital of the pillar is formed by the feathers in the hats of republican soldiers who dangle from it, still holding blood-stained daggers. Other objects on the pillar are a sailor wearing wooden shoes, broken weapons and nautical instruments, a tricolour flag inscribed 'Egalité' with a broken shaft, a small decapitated figure of 'Libertas', holding up a bonnet-rouge. On the horizon (left) is a fort; above are dark clouds from which issue many flashes of lightning. ..."--British Museum online catalogue.
