- Abstract:
- "John Bull is a sailor, stripped to the waist, his trousers turned up, who stands arms akimbo in the English Channel. He looks at Napoleon, whose head peers over the top of a triple fortification on the French coast, bristling with guns, at the base of which small gun-boats are drawn up, on a low cliff rising from the sea. Napoleon, wearing his feathered cocked hat, haggard and alarmed, says: "I'm a com'ing! I'm a' coming!!!" Beside him flies a tricolour flag inscribed 'Vive la Liberta.' John, brawny and contemptuous, asks: "You're a' coming"? - You be d-n'd! [see BMSat 10110] If you mean to invade us - why make such a rout? - I say, Little Boney - why don't you come out? - yes, d-n ye, why don't you come out?" The words of both float upwards in large labels. On a cliff behind John is a fort flying the Union flag."--British Museum online catalogue
