Abstract:
"Atlas (right), bearded and muscular, nude except for swirling drapery, kneels on one knee, supporting with both hands a terrestrial globe which he pushes towards Napoleon on whom it is about to fall. The Emperor staggers back, dropping his sword, his left arm and right leg are raised high, to ward off the impact. He looks up, terrified, and says: "France be mine! Holland be mine! Italy be mine! Spain & Poland be mine! Russ, Prussia Turky, de whole World vil be mine!!! Monsr Atlas hold up dont let it fall on me." Atlas, with a menacing frown, answers: "When the Friends of Freedom and Peace have stop'd your shakeing it on my shoulders [and] got their own again, I'll bear it, till then you may carry it yourself Master Boney!" Close behind Napoleon (left) two French marshals or generals flee to the left, looking back at the globe One (left) says: "By Gar tis true tis fall on your Head! votre Serviteur! we no stop to be crush vid you"; the other: "Votre Serviteur Monsr Boney." Napoleon's head is scarcely caricatured, the generals are grotesques in the manner of Gillray, e.g. in British Museum Satires No. 9403, 'French Generals retiring, on account of their Health . . .' The globe is patterned with continents and islands regardless of geography."--British Museum online catalogue

"A plump Jewess leans over the wooden barrier across the street doorway, to kiss a sucking-pig which her husband holds out to her, affectionately putting his arm round her shoulders. He is bearded, with a long coat, with a bag slung from his arm, showing that he deals in old clothes. A sow (right) looks up anxiously at the pig. A comely young woman wearing a necklace and ear-rings leans over Mrs. Shevi, admiring the pig. From an adjacent window or doorway, an elderly Jew leans, registering outraged horror. The doorway is vaulted, and has a heavy wooden door. A caged bird hangs just inside. On a wall (right) is a bill: 'Lost supposed to have been Stolen a Sow and Seven Pigs Whoever gives Information Five Pound Reward'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A jovial sailor bestrides a mis-shapen horse with panniers, a foot in each basket. In each basket sits a bedizened prostitute, each holding one of his arms. He grins amorously towards the one on his right who is immensely fat, with a patched face and coarse features. She wears long gloves, holds up a parasol, and a reticule dangles from her arm. The other, who is less repulsive, drinks from a bottle; from her pannier dangles a jar of 'British Spirits'. Both wear feathered hats and low-cut dresses with very short sleeves, necklaces, and ear-rings. They are in a wide cobbled street leading to the Thames, which resembles the sea; behind a corner shop (left), inscribed 'Dealer in Maritime Stores', appears the stern of a ship flying an ensign."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"In the foreground on a hillock above the battlefield are Joseph and Jourdan, starting to run from right to left. The King wears crown and royal robe over Spanish costume with ruff and slashed breeches; his snuff-box lies at his feet. He looks over his left shoulder at Jourdan, saying, "Par Bleu Monsr Marshal we must run! a pretty piece of business we have made of it, if my Brother Nap sends for me to the congress the Divil a clean shirt have they left me! could you not try your skill at a convention again my dear Jourdan! as our friend Junot did in Portugal." Jourdan, in profile to the left, right hand on Joseph's shoulder, answers: "Convention! No ma foi! there is no tricking ce Lord Wellington, we have nothing to trust to but our heels, but I dont think they will save us, you need not be uneasy about a clean shirt for the congress Monsr Joe Allons donc run like de Devil! run like your Brother Nap from Russia!" At his feet lie a telescope, his baton (see British Museum Satires No. 12072), and a sceptre. In the middle distance British infantry put French infantry to flight with the bayonet. In the background (right) on a hill is Wellington with his staff, tiny figures. At the base of the hill British soldiers stand at attention, with Frenchmen kneeling abjectly at their feet. In the distance are tiny baggage wagons. On the left is the town of Vittoria."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A night scene, broadly burlesqued. Napoleon, in profile to the left, strides in furtive haste towards a massive gate, directing the beam of a dark lantern against it. From between his coat-tails a long white feather (see British Museum Satires No. 12613) floats behind him, emerging from a cluster of shorter ones. He wears an enormous bicorne, with a plume set in an ornament composed of a crown and olive-twigs (as in British Museum Satires No. 11998), a sash and sabre over his long coat, tasselled Hessians with huge spurs. A head wearing a night-cap looks through the bars which form the top of the gate under a stone arch, to say: "Rap--Rap--Ra--Who comes there--what Midnight disturbers are you." An officer (actually Caulaincourt) crouches at the gate holding the knocker which is set in a great lion's mouth, and beckons towards Napoleon, answering, "It's only Count Vincen"--Alias--Little Boney. the Imperial Fugitive--returned from Victory." The gate-keeper: "Alias-- who"--Alias the Divil you mean." In front of Napoleon's foremost foot a large frog leaps forward; behind him a lean fierce cur barks: "A Russian Cur-- Bow--Wow--Wow." A large label floats back from Napoleon's mouth, inscribed: "hist--is that the Croaking of Frogs I hear--I mistake--its' only the Sycophant Lads in Paris--hurra-ing at My unexpected and precipate [sic] return. thank my Luckey Stars--I have got out of the clutches of them Damd Cossack Curs"--or I should have been food for Bears--long before this time." Beside the gate is a sentry-box, in which a sentry completely muffled up and wearing a night-cap, sleeps, seated with folded arms, clasping his musket. A frog looks from behind the box."--British Museum online catalogue
