Abstract:
"Napoleon plays a double bass, stooping forward, and looking with an agonized expression towards a music-book on a high stand, the pages headed 'Conquest of / Spain & Portugal' and ending in 'Volti Su . . . .' He says: "Plague take it! I never met with so difficult a 'passage' before - But if I can once get over the 'Flats', we shall do pretty well for you see the 'Key' will then change to B sharp." Behind Napoleon and on the right stand the Russian bear on his hind legs, muzzled, and blowing a French horn. He says: "Why that is 'Natural' enough brother Boney though this 'French horn' of yours seems rather out of Order I think." Napoleon, who wears a large bicorne, stands on a 'Map of the Continent' showing 'Spain' and 'Portugal'. Behind him are a drum and a roll of 'Boney's Orations Vol. 10th'."--British Museum online catalogue.

Abstract:
"Scene in an English court of law. The judge, Blücher, wearing a legal wig with regimentals, stands up with left arm extended, addressing Napoleon, who crouches in the dock (right), handkerchief in hand, pleading for mercy. Beside the judge are the sovereigns of Europe, two on his right, three on his left, all gazing at the prisoner. In the well of the court aged and grotesque counsel, typical of Rowlandson's lawyers, surround the green-covered table. The jury (left) have stupid, morose, or astonished expressions. The usher, with a long rod, seated on a raised chair, faces the jury on the opposite side of the court. Corpulent constables with staves stand beside and in front of the dock. Freely sketched spectators look down from a crowded gallery above the dock. Almost all eyes are on the prisoner, behind whom stand the Devil, with folded arms, fiercely gloating over his victim. Behind the usher is a high white screen on which Napoleon's offences are inscribed: 'NAPOLEAN BONAPARTE The first and last by the Wrath of Heaven Ex Emperor of the Jacobins & head Runner of Runaways [see British Museum Satires No. 12192], Stands indicted 1ts [sic] for the Murder of Captain Wright in the Temple at Paris 2d for the murder of the Duke Dangulem [d'Enghien] Pichegrew & Georges 3 for the Murder of Palm Hoffer &c & 4th for the murder of the 12 inhabitants of Moscow 5th for inumerable Robberies committed on all Nations in Christendom & elsewhere, 6th for Bigamy & lastly for returning from Transportation, and setting the World in an uproar.' Blücher says fiercely: "You Nap Boneparte being found Guilty of all these Crimes it is fell to my lot to pronounce Sentence of Death on You--You are to be hung by the Neck for one hour till you are Dead, Dead, Dead, & your Body to be chained to a Mill Stone & sunk in the Sea at Torbay." Napoleon says: "Oh cruel Blucher, Oh! cruel Wellington it is you that have brought me to this End. Oh Magnanimous Emperors Kings & Princes intercede for me and spare my life; and give me time to attone for all my Sins, My Son Napoleon the Second will reward you for Mercy shewn me." The sovereigns are poorly characterized. On the extreme left is Alexander, next him and on Blücher's right is the Prince Regent. On Blücher's left is Louis XVIII. Next (?) the King of Prussia, then the Emperor of Austria; next, the Pope with clasped hands, wearing his tiara. On the extreme right is (?) Ferdinand of Spain looking through an eye-glass."--British Museum online catalogue.

Abstract:
"An adaptation of British Museum Satires No. 10039, by Gillray, the place of George III being taken by 'Blucher', the name on a ribbon worn over his uniform. The horse (left) is a restive charger instead of a hunter standing quietly. Blücher leans towards the pack in a fierce attitude, unlike that of the King. The grip of the hand on the fox's neck is as before, and the fox with the profile head of Napoleon registering despair is closely copied. In place of six hounds there are fourteen, six with names on their collars: 'Wellington', 'Swartsenberg', 'Crown Prince' [Bernadotte], 'D. York', 'Kutusoff', 'Row' [with a fourth letter which is perhaps 'L'], Two monarchs wearing crowns gallop up from the right, on a larger scale than the tiny horsemen headed by Pitt in British Museum Satires No. 10039. In the background (right) is a flaming town."--British Museum online catalogue.

Abstract:
"Napoleon lies in bed, with a fat Dutchman seated on his chest, puffing tobacco smoke at his face, and saying "Orange Boven." He grips Napoleon's neck between his legs; the two men face each other in profile, one staring up, terrified, the other looking down. Napoleon's right arm hangs down from the bed, his fist is clenched, his feet (right), with crisped toes, project from under the coverlet. The Dutchman wears a high-crowned hat, with a large (orange) cockade, and bulky breeches; his left hand is in his breeches pocket. The curtains and counterpane are patterned with eagles; the curtains hang from a circular canopy topped by a large crown and a trophy of sword, sceptre, and eagle. They are drawn aside to frame the two figures. On the fringed pelmet eagles alternate with crowns and a papal tiara, emblem of the humiliation of the Papacy. On the right stand two enormous fasces with projecting lictor's axes, the blades turned towards Napoleon. On a stool in front of the bed are the Emperor's bicorne and sword."--British Museum online catalogue.

"The Powers of Europe toss Napoleon in a blanket. He flies into the air, legs above his head, dropping crown and sceptre, his sword also falls. He exclaims with an agonized expression: "O Misericordé." Three figures hold the front of the sheet, in back view, but with upturned profiles: in the centre is John Bull, a fat 'cit', bald-headed, his hat and wig on the ground. On his left, their hands touching, is a Dutchman smoking, and with a big orange cockade in his hat. On his right is a Spanish don, in feathered hat, ruff, cloak, slashed tunic and breeches. At the extreme ends of the sheet are (left) a Cossack, next the Dutchman, and (right) the fat King of Würtemberg. Seven men hold the farther side of the blanket (left to right): the Pope, wearing his tiara, a man wearing a fur cap with a star, inscribed 'Polar Star', identified in a contemporary hand as Poland, despite the association with Sweden (see British Museum Satires No. 10997). His neighbour is identified as Bernadotte, but resembles Francis I. The next two are identified as Russia and Austria, one is perhaps Bavaria (Russia being represented by the Cossack as England is by John Bull). Next is the hussar who commonly stands for Prussia. A man wearing cocked hat and star is identified as Hanover, but does not resemble the Duke of Cambridge or of Cumberland and is not unlike Bernadotte."--British Museum online catalogue.

Abstract:
"Napoleon, surrounded by the Powers of Europe who puff smoke at him, dances, frantic with rage and fear, upon the head of a large cask of 'Real Hollands Geneva'. The cask-head tilts under his feet, the contents splash out, and he is on the point of disappearing inside it. On the cask are the words: 'The Fly that sips Treacle is lost in the sweet' [Gay, 'Beggar's Opera']. The most prominent smoker, nearest the cask on the left, is a fat Dutchman in bulky breeches, with a big orange cockade in his small hat. He sits on a small barrel inscribed 'Dutch Herrings' and 'Crimp Cod' and leans forward and to the right, puffing upwards a cloud of smoke. In his left hand he holds up his long pipe, his right is on the handle of a jug inscribed 'Success to his Serene Highness'. Beside him are a 'Dutch Cheese' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 9412], a 'Tobacco Pouch', three closely coiled twists of tobacco, and a jug of 'Dutch Drops' [a balsam or popular nostrum, prepared with oil of turpentine, nitric ether, &c. 'O.E.D.'; see British Museum Satires No. 12118]. Almost equally prominent is an obese John Bull, a 'cit' holding a pipe and a frothing tankard of 'Brown Stout', who stands close to the cask in profile to the left, looking up with amused satisfaction, a cloud of smoke rising from his mouth. Next him and on the right, a Prussian hussar sits on a cannon, holding a pipe with a long curved stem, and turning a grotesque profile toward Napoleon. Behind John Bull is a (?) Hanoverian wearing a helmet, puffing steadily. Above them and near the upper margin are four heads: one very close to Napoleon, emerging from cloud, is perhaps a Saxon. A man wearing a high fur-bordered cap is probably a Russian, and a profile smoking a pipe with an ornate bowl may be Swedish. The man on the extreme right smoking a German pipe may represent Bavaria. On the left, standing behind the Dutchman, the bulky King of Würtemberg is conspicuous. His antique dress, with a long flowered and gold-laced waistcoat, is reminiscent of the caricatures of his courtship and marriage, see British Museum Satires No. 9014, &c. He holds a bottle of 'Wirtemberg Drops', and smokes a large curved German pipe. Above him are the heads of two men, an Austrian and a Spanish don, probably the Emperor of Austria and Ferdinand of Spain. Napoleon stands among clouds of smoke, which also form a background to the heads. He storms: "Oh you base Traitors and Deserters. Eleven Hundred Thousand Lads of Paris [cf. British Museum Satires No. 12113, &c.] shall roast every one of you alive, as soon as they can catch you!"."--British Museum online catalogue.

Abstract:
'verliehrt auf der Heimreise von der Leipziger Messe alles' (reproduced Broadley, ii. 117). Napoleon runs in profile to the left, holding in both hands a pole like that of a running footman, but topped by the head of the sceptre of Charlemagne (an emblem of the Empire) inscribed 'Carolus Magnus'. His head and uniform evidently derive from Dähling's engraving of Napoleon in the uniform of the Colonel of the Chasseurs of the Guard (reproduced, Dayot, 'Napoléon', p. 205), on which British Museum Satires No. 12177 is based, but on his back is the hairy knapsack of a private (as in British Museum Satires No. 12308). Its contents fly out as he runs. On the ground are two prints of French soldiers at attention, 'Alte Garde' and 'Junge Garde'; maps fall to the ground: 'Poland', 'Rhein Bund', 'Hanstat [sic] Departement', 'Sewitszerla[nd]' [sic], 'Holland', 'Italy', which has hardly left the knapsack; two rolled maps are about to fall: 'Brabant' and 'Bheisufer' [i.e. Rheinufer or Bouches du Rhin]. He runs diagonally towards a broad river, the Rhine; on the farther side are the buildings of 'Maynz', reflected in the water. Just before him runs a hare. The original, including inscriptions, is closely followed, but the hare (cf. British Museum Satires No. 12564) has been added and a bush removed."--British Museum online catalogue. and "A copy, probably much enlarged, of a German print, der rheinische courier

"The comet has the profile head of Napoleon wearing a plumed bicorne; it rushes up from the left towards the sun, the profile head of George III, much irradiated. John Bull, a carbuncled 'cit', stoops low to look through a telescope on a tripod pointing towards the comet. Napoleon looks up at the King, who gazes fixedly above his head. He has ascended from a small piece of land rising from the narrow Channel separating it from John's wider fragment. Up this a frog clambers. On the open sea ships are strung out along the horizon. John says: "Aye - Aye - Master Comet - you may attempt your Periheliums - or your Devil heliums for what I care but take the word of an Old Man you'll never reach the Sun depend upon it"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.
