"A very fat and jovial volunteer, dressed as a light horseman, holds ln his left hand a pole on which is the head of Napoleon in profile to the right. and wearing a huge cocked hat decorated with plumes, tricolour cockade, gold lace, and tassels. The hand that holds the pole holds also, by the hair, a bunch of bleeding heads which form a grisly garland round it. In his right hand is his sabre. He is surrounded by women; two embrace him, others hasten up; he swaggers with raised left leg, saying, "There you rouges, there! there's the Boney Part - twenty more killed them!! twenty more killed them too!! I have destroyed half the Army with this same Toledo." The women say, respectively: "Bless the Warrior that saved our Virgin charms"; "take care I'll smother him with Kisses"; "Oh! what frightful Heads how ravishing they look, - they would have used us ill I am sure"; "ha ha, thats, that great man little Boney, how glum he looks." An elderly spinster exclaims: "ah bless him he has saved us from Death and Vileation." A handsome woman turns to a tall young man in civilian dress on the extreme left, saying, "There you Poltroon look how that noble Hero's Caressed!" He turns away, saying, "Ods Niggins I wish I had been a Soldier too then the Girls would have run after me - but I never could bear the smell of Gun powder"."--British Museum online catalogue
