"Satire on Napoleon's defeat, abdication and retirement to Elba. in a makeshift-looking room, a huge, hairy devil approaches Napoleon at right, holding a trident and proffering a noose, saying, 'Master Boney the favour of your company is requested -'; Napoleon, at left, hurriedly rising from his 'Camp stool' and pulling on his breeches, replies, 'I'll be with you in a crack'; a skeleton looms up behind him, at the same time holding back Joseph Bonaparte who tries to escape through an open door at left, his crown falling off, the skeleton apprehending him, 'Stop thief'. By the side of Napoleon's throne-like stool, a stoppered bottle labelled 'Composing draught', a glass and a crown, at his feet his hat and sword; on a table beside the devil are other suggested measures for suicide: pistols, a dagger, a smaller demon holding out a cup labelled 'Genuine Jaffa poison', a dish of 'Opium', an axe, a paper lettered 'Perhaps you would prefer drowning'; underneath the table are trunks lettered 'Military chest / Hospital chest / Diamonds'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The representatives of six of the Allies, the most prominent being John Bull, stand on a bluff (left) tugging at a rope by which they pull a row of seven uniform Dutch men-of-war from the opposite coast. The ships are small, their sails are inflated by a favourable wind; they fly Dutch flags, one inscribed 'Texell Fleet'; John Bull, a stout 'cit', pulls side by side with a Spaniard in slashed tunic, ruff, and feathered hat. Behind this pair a Russian wearing a fur hood steadies the rope. A Prussian Death's Head Hussar hauls at the end of the rope, his back to the sea, but looking over his shoulder. Beside him is an Austrian officer, while a Portuguese or Sicilian waves a feathered cap. On the extreme right, behind the Dutch fleet, are two little figures making frantic gestures: Napoleon waving his sword exclaims: "Oh Brother Joe--I'm all Fire, My Passion eats me up Such unlooked for Storms of ills fall on me It beats down all my cunning, I cannot bear it My ears are fill'd with Noise my Eyes grow dim And feeble shakings seize every Limb." Joseph stands behind, his crown at his feet, saying: "Oh Brother Nap Brother Nap we shant be left with half a Crown apiece [see British Museum Satires No. 12068]." The ships are filled with Dutch sailors; others are on the shore (right) pushing at the stern of the nearest ship in order to launch her. This partly obscures the others, which are in line, diminishing in perspective. A ship's boat rows towards the horizon. A large sun (right), irradiated and inscribed 'Sunset of Tyranny', sinks into the sea. Between it and the coast (left) is a row of five men-of-war at anchor, flying the flags of the Allies, their poops in a line. The ship on the right, nearest Holland, flies a Russian flag, the next, with the highest masts, flies British flags. In the foreground (left), lying at the base of the bluff on which the Allies stand, are two casks inscribed 'Real Hollands Best Double Proof' and 'Genuine Spirit Neat as Imported'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A fat Dutchman (right), with left leg raised high, has kicked Napoleon into the air, towards a large exulting Devil crouching before the flames of Hell (left). Napoleon's bicorne is falling to the ground, his sword flies up, attached to the belt. The Devil grasps Napoleon by the left ankle. He is a naked satyr with hairy legs, barbed tail, fierce talons, as in British Museum Satires No. 6283 by Rowlandson. The Dutchman holds a goblet above his head, in his left hand is a long tobacco-pipe. He wears the usual bulky breeches with short jacket, and has a big (orange) cockade in his high-crowned hat. In the background a second Dutchman lunges forward with a pitchfork pressed against the posterior of Joseph, who runs screaming towards the flames, his crown on the ground behind him. The scene is the sea-shore, with three ships (right) at anchor."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A mêlée, in which British soldiers put Frenchmen to flight. In the foreground (left) a burly grenadier prods with his bayonet a ragged man from whose head falls a large sirloin and its dish which he had been trying to carry off. The man shouts; "Oh! Jean Bull vill you not let me have one little bit of Beef??!" [A catch-phrase, cf. British Museum Satires No. 5790.] John answers: "No, No, I'll be d--d if you take the Roast Beef with you." At their feet are a sack of coin, baskets of provisions, wine, bread; a large pot of 'soup meagre' is overturned. On the right a Highlander beside a cannon with a gun-carriage inscribed 'N', seizes a French ragamuffin by his long pigtail, and raises his sword, saying, "Stand out O' the way loons whilst I tak your Last Cannon (see British Museum Satires No. 12069)." In the middle distance French soldiers flee (left to right) before a bayonet charge from men wearing shakos. On a hill behind (left), Wellington on a curvetting white charger surveys the scene; a soldier stands beside him holding a Union flag; both wave their hats. A pendant figure on the right is Joseph Bonaparte fleeing to the right on a galloping ass, his crown falling from his head, his hair rising, and his hands together as if in prayer; he looks behind in terror, exclaiming: "O vat de devil vill Brother Nap say?!!" Beside him a signpost points 'To France'. In the centre a man holds up Marshal Jourdan spiked on his bayonet. Jourdan shrieks: "Oh! My Batoon (his baton falls from his hand)." The soldier answers: "it's oh your Bottom I think"."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Napoleon is being drummed out of France. His right wrist is tied to the left wrist of Joseph Bonaparte; they are led forward, abjectly crouching, by Blücher, who holds the rope attached to the noose round Napoleon's neck. Napoleon has long ass's ears and wears a fool's cap inscribed 'Transported for Life'; his brother's cocked hat is inscribed 'Coward and Thief'. Both are assailed by serpentine monsters, barbed and scaly, which bite their legs, one inscribed 'Execration', the other 'Detestation'. Both wear uniform with the coats without epaulets and cut off at the waist. Blücher carries against his shoulder a long pole on which is a placard: 'Napolean, Late Emperor of the French, King of Italy Protecter of the Confederation of the Rhine, Grand Arbiter of the fate of Nations &c &c &c but now by the permission of the Allied Sovereigns, Exile in the Isle of Elba an Outcast from Society a fugitive a Vagabond. Yet this is the conceited Mortal who said, I have never been seduced by prosperity Adversity will not be able to overcome me--' Behind (left) the sovereigns of Europe gleefully dance in a ring, holding hands, round two flag-staffs from which float two large flags, the Bourbon flag dotted with fleur-de-lis and inscribed 'Rejoice O ye Kings Vive le Roi'; on the other is a flag with the double-headed eagle of Austria or Russia. The monarchs wear crowns; with them is the Pope, wearing his tiara. Next him is the corpulent Louis XVIII, one arm round the Pope's shoulder. Of the others only William of Holland can be identified with certainty; he wears bulky Dutch breeches with an ermine cloak. There are five others, three must be the Tsar, Emperor of Austria, King of Prussia. The others are probably Ferdinand of Spain and Ferdinand of Sicily. They sing: 'Now we are met a Jolly set in spite of Wind or Weather'. The three foreground figures are faced by a row of soldiers beating drums, with an officer raising his sword."--British Museum online catalogue
