Abstract:
"The Archduchess Marie Louise lying in a canopied bed with Napoleon; she lies back languidly but with her feet overhanging the edge, remarking, 'My dear Nap: your bed accommodations are very indifferent! Too short by a yard! I wonder how Josephino put up with such things even as long as she did!!!' Napoleon lies beside her, resting on his right elbow and looking off discontentedly to right, replying, 'Indeed Maria I do not well understand you? The Empress Josephino who knew things better than I hope you do, never grumbled - Le Diable! I see I never will be able to get what I want after all!!!' In the left foreground, a dog is just seen leaping over a tumbled pile of crowns, two labelled 'France', 'Spain'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Marie Louise (left) sits on the edge of a canopied bed adjusting her garter (she is perhaps adapted from Mrs. Fitz-herbert in Gillray's 'The Morning after Marriage', British Museum Satires No. 7298). Her back is to Napoleon, who sits up in bed turning to the Devil (right) who approaches from behind the curtain, pitchfork in hand. The Emperor's hand rests on an open book: 'Aristotle's Master-piece or the Secrets of Nature Reveal'd'. He says: "My good friend I smell your approach, and know what you are come about, I am loth to part with Maria yet, and am consulting this book before I determine, yes! yes! she must sleep with her Aunts & Cousins if it is necessary for my Reputation I'll not he laughd at". The Devil, who is nude, with horns, webbed wings, and barbed tail, answers: "Poh! Poh! dont gammon me about books, you know your impotence, send her to Heaven, or I'll withdraw my protection and you'll come to Hell presto". Marie Louise says: "Oh dear! if this is the deligt's of Love I am surfeited already, to be sure few husbands disturb their wives rest more than mine does, but it's with starting & kicking in his sleep & crying have mercy on me. I suppose Josephine used to worry him so. bless me what a smell of brimstone there is!" On the floor (right) lie a book, 'Life of Henry the VIII of England', and two documents: 'Medical opinion on ...' and 'Progeny of the Emperor of Persia'. The canopy of the large ornate bed with fringed curtains is decorated with crowns."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Marie Louise, a handsome and buxom young termagant, has seized the imperial crown and sceptre, and threatens Napoleon (left) who crouches behind the smaller of two Chairs of State on the seat of which is his tricorne hat. She looks towards him, one toe resting on the seat of the chair, the crown raised as if she was about to hurl it; she declaims: "By the Head of Jove, I hate him worse than Famine or Diseases, Perish his Family, let inveterate Hate Commence between our Houses from this Moment, And meeting never let them bloodless part." The sceptre she holds out above the head of Talleyrand (right) who has fallen on his back and raises his hands to protect his head, shouting, "Be gar she will give us all de finishing Stroke". He is unrecognizable except for his crutch and his lame leg with its surgical shoe. Across his breeches are the words 'I shall never rise again'. Napoleon exclaims distractedly: "Oh Tally Tally rise and rally". Behind is a tall ghost-like figure (? Louis XVI) clutching a sheet round his curiously drawn form, and shouting "Marblue--Vat a Crown Cracker she be". Behind the Empress is the 'Coronation Chair', surmounted by a battered crown from which flies off a cock inscribed 'Gallic Cock Roupee'. In the foreground lie heaped-up crowns, including two imperial crowns, a Papal tiara (cf. British Museum Satires no. 11360), the iron crown of Italy (as in British Museum Satires no. 10432), and a laurel wreath."--British Museum online catalogue
