"Napoleon, 'Corsican Tiger', with the body of a tiger, and wearing his feathered bicorne, puts his fore-paws on a bunch of four yelping and prostrate dogs, one with a collar inscribed 'Royal Greyhound' (the collars of the others being hidden). He turns his head in profile to the left. to glare savagely at a pack of 'Patriotic Greyhounds'. The two foremost bark fiercely at him, their heads close to his, others are streaking down a steep hill (l.) towards him. Narrow water divides the land on which Napoleon stands from three other projecting pieces of land on the r. In the foreground a 'Dutch Frog' sits smoking a pipe and watching the conflict, saying, "It will be my turn to have a slap at him next." On a cliff behind the frog 'Iohn Bull', a 'cit', stands aiming his musket at the tiger; he says: "There was a little Man, And he had a little gun, And his Bullets were made of lead, D------n me but we'll manage him amongst us. "On a more distant plain a bear on its hind legs faces an eagle with three crowned heads: they are 'Russian Bear & Austrian Eagle', and are linked together by a heavy chain attached to collars on the bear and eagle. The eagle says: "Now Brother Bruin is the time to break our chains"."--British Museum online catalogue

"A gout ridden man seated in right side profile shouting with anger at his Irish footman who carries a sundial under his arm with a fob watch dangling from it. Having been asked to set the watch by the time on the sundial, the footman in an effort to be helpful, has instead transplanted the dial into the parlour for the master to do it himself."--Royal Collection Trust online catalogue, RCIN 810682
