"Napoleon (left) and Joseph sit side by side on low seats or stools, both with a hand on each knee. They have large, elongated heads broadly caricatured (as in British Museum Satires No. 10604, &c.) and look sideways at each other with drawn-down mouths and wrinkled foreheads. Napoleon is in uniform, wearing a feathered bicorne; Joseph wears a crown with Spanish dress, ermine-trimmed robe, and the order of the Golden Fleece. His seat is, very inconspicuously, a commode. At his feet is a sceptre with a scroll inscribed 'Servata Fides Cineri'. Napoleon says: "A pretty piece of Business we have made of it Brother Joe." Joseph: "I always told you Nap, what would come of makeing too free with the Spaniards.""--British Museum online catalogue

"A boarding party on the deck of a French ship engaged in a furious mêlée. Mr. B. lunges forward, piercing an officer through the heart with his sword. A burly sailor stretches over his head to strike aside a spear which a Frenchman is about to plunge into the boy. Men are partly hidden by smoke; cannon-balls are in the air, dead or dying men on the ground. Frenchmen use muskets, English sailors axes and swords. Below: '"the pulse's maddening play That thrills the wanderer of the trackless way That for it self can woo the approaching fight And turn what some deem danger to delight No dread of death, if with us die our foes Save that it seems e'en duller than repose," Byron."--British Museum online catalogue
