Abstract:
"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:
"In a fantastic procession Napoleon, much burlesqued and very thin, is dragged and pushed to the sea-shore, where (right) a boat manned by the Devil waits to take him to Elba. Round his neck is a rope dragged by two dwarfish and ragged Frenchmen (right): one is a ferocious little Jacobin, wearing a bonnet rouge, shouting "à bas le Tyran"; the other is a royalist, waving a hat in which is an olive-branch and ribbons inscribed 'Vivent les Bourbons', and shouting "Vive Louis XVIII." Napoleon weeps; he is assailed by a shower of missiles including cats and rats; a little demon capers on his head playing a fiddle. His hands are tied behind him and his coat is worn back to front; his feet project through his ragged boots, his great spurs are attached to the front of his leg above the instep. In his coat-pocket is a tiny King of Rome waving a rattle topped by a crown and shouting: "By gar Papa I have made von grand manœuvre in your Pocket!!" The chief motive force is the large 'Allied Broom' [according to Broadley, perhaps describing another state, the inscription is not 'Allied Broom' but 'Abdication'], with which Talleyrand, wearing a long gown and a high surgical shoe on his left foot, pushes Napoleon forward, pointing derisively and grinning delightedly; he says: "There he goes!!!" Behind Talleyrand are a small but elderly drummer and a ragged soldier playing a fife. The former wears in his cap a big white favour, and an inscription: 'Vive Louis XVIII'; the latter wears a laurel branch and a favour inscribed 'Vive Louis' in his bonnet rouge; from his mouth float the words: "He was whip'd & he w drum'd, He w [sic] drum'd out of the Regt, If ever he is a Soldier again, The Devil may be his Sergeant." Next, and on the extreme left, are two women flinging missiles at Napoleon, and shouting "a bas le Tyran--Down with the Tyrant--Vive Louis." On the extreme right is a shouting man holding up a tricolour flag, inscribed 'Vivent les Bourbons', its staff topped by a fleur-de-lis. On the ground (left) are Napoleon's epaulets with the scissors by which they have been cut from his coat, his sash and a small crown, perhaps that of the King of Rome. With these is a document: 'Done at Fontainebleau', across which lies a broken sword. On the horizon (right) is a rocky island from which rise large flames; these surround a tall gibbet with one dangling corpse and one empty noose; a ladder leans against it."--British Museum online catalogue

In his left hand he holds a wine-glass in which kneels a tiny screaming Napoleon, submerged to the waist, with both arms raised above his head. His left foot rests regally upon a cushion, but the slashed shoe indicates that this is on account of gout. He wears dress of ancien régime type, with the ribbon and star of St. Louis.

Abstract:
"Napoleon, riding on an ass, with Marie Louise seated behind him, approaches the coast, with the 'Island of Elba' on the horizon (right). Just in front of him the King of Rome rides a mastiff inscribed 'Corsican Dog'; the child points with a switch at the island, and looks round at his father registering furious anger. Napoleon stares in agonized dismay, his hands raised in astonished protest. He wears a peaked cap inscribed 'Fools Cap'; the coat of his accustomed uniform, breeches unbuttoned at the knee, and wrinkled stocking showing bare leg. In front of him hangs a small sack: 'Bag of Brown Bread'. Marie Louise (see British Museum Satires No. 12218) is a dishevelled termagant, her left hand resting heavily on Napoleon's shoulder. She turns to thrash the donkey, her open mouth indicating an angry scream; she raises a bludgeon inscribed 'Baton Marechâle' [cf. No. 12088]. The boy wears a single garment over bare legs; a tight childish cap is tied to his head; from his waist hangs a dagger. The dog bays at the sight of the sea. Behind the ass walks an elderly and old-fashioned French post-boy, with heavy boots and whip and wearing a cocked hat. He clenches a fist, and extends a leg as if kicking, and screams: "Be gar you Cocquin now I shall drive my Old Friends and bonne Customers de English Vive Le Roi et le Poste Royale." Beside the ass's head is the upright of a gibbet-shaped sign-post inscribed 'Road to Elba'; from this hangs a noose. Two carrion birds fly past it towards Napoleon, one holding in its beak a paper: 'We Long to pick your Bones.' Over Elba is the customary flight of (carrion) birds. Against the shore lie two small boats, one has a mast; in the other sits a man."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Blücher stands on the shore, directed to the left, holding out at arm's length, and by the scruff of the neck, an animal (as much like a fox as a dog) with the head of Napoleon. The Emperor, in profile to the left, wears his petit chapeau, and gauntlet gloves, so that he has human hands. In a heap at Blücher's feet lie Napoleon's discarded uniform, crown, sceptre, sword, and an eagle. Along the shore runs an officer shouting in terror, his arms raised above his head. Near him a small boat with sail and oars lies at the edge of the water; a man climbs in with a sack on his shoulder inscribed '20.000 a year'. On the horizon is a small island, 'Island of Elba', above which fly carrion birds. On the right in the middle distance is another scene; a closely packed group of royalists and allied soldiers, in front of which stands Louis XVIII, with clasped hands, while a man places a crown on his head; Talleyrand, wearing a long gown, and with a surgical shoe on his right foot, obsequiously proffers a paper: 'A List of Ministers for your Majesty's Approbation'. Behind Talleyrand is a bishop with a crosier, and wearing a mitre which suggests a papal tiara. A woman holding up a laurel-wreath stands on the right. Behind these figures appear the heads of mounted soldiers and hands waving hats. The whole group is dominated by large white flags, the most prominent covered with fleur-de-lis and inscribed 'Restoration of Louis XVIII'. There is also an Austrian (or Russian) flag."--British Museum online catalogue

"A sequel to British Museum Satires No. 10518, Gillray's 'Tiddy-Doll'. Napoleon, haggard and desperate, wearing tattered uniform without the former apron and sword, walks in profile to the left, carrying on his head a large tray. On this stand three gingerbread kings, burlesqued and mutilated, with two queens, a detached head (crowned), and (right) a pile of imperial emblems: crowns, mitre, sceptre, eagle, flag, &c. On the left a bonnet rouge hangs from a staff. In the middle stands an imperial eagle with a tricolour flag to which is tied a broom showing that the contents of the tray are for sale. Napoleon says (with grimly closed mouth): "Buy my Image! Here's my nice little Gingerbread Emperor & Kings Retail and for Exportation!" Behind him is a tumbledown thatched hovel; over an aperture where more gingerbread figures are displayed is a board: 'Tiddy-Doll Gingerbread Baker. NB Removed from Paris.' Above fly three of the (carrion) birds associated in these prints with Elba. Napoleon walks towards the sea; across the water (in France) tiny figures dance holding hands round a white flag inscribed 'Vivent les Bourbons' and topped by a fleur-de-lis. Behind them is the gable-end of a rustic inn: 'The Kings Head New Revived'. A fiddler capers on the edge of the cliff, watching Napoleon."--British Museum online catalogue and "One of many satires on Napoleon's banishment, see British Museum Satires No. 12229, &c., and on the fall of the Bonaparte kings, the 'Corsican Kinglings' of British Museum Satires No. 10518.

"A bedroom scene. Joanna Southcott sits in an arm-chair, attended by three women and four doctors. Between her legs is a large tub inscribed 'Living Water', into which water gushes from a tap projecting from under her petticoats. She leans back with extended arms, exclaiming: "Shiloh! let not this groupe dismay thee | Come forth into the World I pray thee!" One doctor, Reece, superintends the flow of water, kneeling in profile to the left on a large volume: '[R]eec's Medical Guide'. In his pocket is a paper: 'Account of Wonderful Pregnancies'. Behind him a second doctor sniffs at a tumbler of water, saying, "This is a very pretty rig! | Nothing but water d .... n my Wig!" Two others talk together on the right, one peers through a microscope into a goblet; the other asks: "What do you see in the water, Doctor!" He answers: "Bubbles Doctr "the earth hath bubbles, as the water hath ['Macbeth' I. iii]". I said it was all my eye." Behind him, on the chimney-piece, are a medicine-bottle and the bust of a lank-haired man wearing clerical bands. Three women stand behind Joanna's chair and in front of the curtains of a bed. One (left) holds out a lace cap, saying, "Doctor here is Shiloh's cap! bless me! why he has got a watery head! The next says: "Pray Doctr take care of the cawl if there is one." The third, offering a steaming bowl, says: "Come my blessed Lady sip some of this heavenly caudle I have made you." In the foreground (left), Tozer, dressed as an artisan, sits on a three-legged stool, corking up bottles of water.

Abstract:
"Joanna Southcott and Tozer drive before them a crowd of fat bishops, who flee to the right in wild confusion. She uses a birch-rod, he wields a flail, inscribed 'Revd Roger Towser's Flail'. Joanna holds by the toe the hindmost bishop, who wears a papal tiara. One has fallen to the ground, losing wig and crosier, another escapes over the former's body; two wear mitres. Several turn round to shriek defiance; one kicks out at Tozer, and uses his crosier as a weapon, another brandishes his wig. Joanna is plainly dressed, and wears a cap and spectacles; from her neck hangs a medallion inscribed 'I C' between two stars, with the words 'A Fac Simili of Joannas Seal'. Drapery streams behind her inscribed 'Elijah's Mantle' and 'Mohair'. Demons and serpents fly round the angry pair. She screams: "Lay it on hip and thigh Brave Towzer Smite the unbelievers--I put no more trust in Bishops as men, than I do in their Chariots and Horses, but my trust is in the Lord of Hosts." He shouts: "I'll well Dust their Woolsacks and make them drunk in my fury, I will bring down their strength to the earth." Behind them (left) is a chest (as in British Museum Satires No. 12333) inscribed 'Contents of the Sealing. The Sealed of the Lord--The Elect--To inherit the Tree of Life. To be made Heirs of God and Joint Heirs of [sic] with Jesus Christ--Joanna Southcott.' Beside it lie a goblet and 'Salver'. At her feet is an open book: 'Third Book of Wonders'.

"Lady Perceval sits at an ornate writing-table, pen in hand. A serpent issues from her breast, coils round her arm, and darts its fang at the tip of her pen. She frowns meditatively, saying, "Now then for something strong but not libellous, I hate half measures we must rush upon the enemy--suprise [sic], astound him--and unhorse him by Terror--John Bull have at you! I'll open your eyes--." The table is littered with papers and books; some are docketed: 'For the Star', 'To the Editor of the Star', 'For the News', 'Extracts from the Book', one is 'Copy', a book is 'Politicks', and a large paper is displayed: 'Select Scraps from Shakespeare--with my own comments "Some achieve greatness "some have greatness thrust upon them ....

On the left John Mitford, identified by a letter in his coat-pocket 'To John Mit--', stands facing the wall, and hanging one picture over another: he places a view of a country inn, 'The Tigers Head' above one of '[War]burton's Mad House', saying, "Come this is a prettier picture than the other [left] shall catch some fish in this neighbourhood." He is fashionably dressed, wearing Hessian boots. This picture is on the left of a row: a large picture of 'Alecto' (cf. British Museum Satires No. 7721), naked, wreathed in serpents, and brandishing scourge and fire-brand, with a background of flames hangs between three-quarter length portraits of 'Lady Douglas' and 'Lady A Hamilton'. The former covers her face with a tragic gesture; a dagger lies on a table beside her, she seems to contemplate suicide. The latter clasps her hands. Over the chimneypiece (right) is a three-quarter length portrait of 'Lord P . . . . val' concealing his face with his hat; below, and partly hiding the frame, is a statuette of a knight killing a dragon.

"Elba is represented by a flat-topped rock emerging from the sea only a little above the waves. Napoleon, much burlesqued, sits on a huge chamber-pot inscribed 'Imperial Throne'. He is ragged and bare-legged but wears a large (damaged) feathered bicorne; under his arm is a clyster-pipe. He turns his head in profile towards a demon rising from the sea (left) who holds out a large pistol, saying, "If! you have one Spark of Courage left! take this." Napoleon answers: "Perhaps I may if you'll take the flint out." The demon is nude and emaciated, with a spiky backbone; flame issues from his mouth. Behind Napoleon is the trunk of a decayed tree; on a branch hang (right) a (torn) pair of breeches and two tattered stockings. On the trunk, above Napoleon's head, a crow is spreadeagled to represent the imperial eagle; from its splayed legs hangs a gorget inscribed 'Imperiel Crow'. On the ground by Napoleon's throne are a large jar of 'Brimstone', an open book: 'A Triti [sic]--on the Itch! by Doctor Scratch', a small-tooth comb, a pipkin, and three medicine-bottles.

"An obese, elderly man, completely bald, sits in an arm-chair while a shopman pours oil from a bottle (straw-covered like a Chianti flask) on to his scalp, pressing down his head with the left hand. At his feet is a basin to receive the overflow. On the ground is a tall 'Fools Cap', with ears. Behind them stands a woman with a shock of red hair standing on end; she looks in horror at its reflection in a wall-mirror (right). On the wall above her head is a placard: 'Wonderful Discovery Carrotty or Grey Whiskers Changed to Black Brown or Blue--' High on the wall are shelves where bottles of the oil are closely ranged, one inscribed 'Wig Oil One Guinea Pr Bottle'. Behind the shopman (left) stands a big Ali Baba jar. Across the wall is a large placard inscribed: 'Macassar Oil, for the Growth of Hair is the finest invention ever known for encreasing hair on bald Places, Its virtues are pre-eminent for improving and beautifying the Hair of Ladies and Gentlemen--This invaluable Oil recommended on the basis of truth and experience is sold at One Guinea Pr Bottle by all the Perfumers and Medicine Venders in the Kingdom'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A scene on the wild and rocky shore of Elba where Napoleon has just landed. He stands on the beach in deep dejection, in profile to the right, looking down, and saying: "Ah Woe is me seeing what I have and seeing what I see" ['Hamlet', III. i]. A dog befouls his boot. He is the centre of attraction to uncouth peasants who surround him, while many more approach through a defile in the mountains. A gross and hideous woman, holding a long tobacco-pipe, puts her hand on his shoulder, saying, "Come cheer up my little Nicky I'll be your Empress." A man beside her points to a ship at anchor; a boat filled with people is rowing out to her. The peasants all grin broadly. Near Napoleon (left) is seated a hideous, barelegged woman suckling an infant and smoking a long pipe. An almost naked child clings to her shoulders, putting out his tongue at Napoleon, as does a man standing just behind him. In the foreground, Napoleon's Mameluke, Ali, sits on the ground, beside a pile of portmanteaux inscribed 'Boneys Baggage'; he averts his head from the humiliating spectacle; his sabre lies beside him. An odd ape-like creature squats on the extreme left. On the extreme right a fisherman, staring over his shoulder at Napoleon, is about to jump ashore or push off in his boat. In the background two boats, one with a furled lateen sail, lie against the rocky coast."--British Museum online catalogue
