"Heading to a printed broadside. A copy of British Museum Satires No. 12177, with the same inscriptions, except that 'f' is omitted after the rivers and 'Veichsel' (Vistula) is spelt 'Weichsel R. Ehrefort' ['loss of honour' punningly combined with Erfurt, scene of Napoleon's triumph in 1808, and his headquarters before Leipzig; cf. British Museum Satires No. 12248] is on a red ribbon. The web is larger in proportion to the coat, the spider much larger in proportion to the web. On the collar are waves of the sea, with an inconspicuous ship. On the cuff is 'R' (for Regent), round the wrist 'Honi Soit', on the fingers are the letters 'A', 'R', 'P', 'S', 'E' (for the Allies)."--British Museum online catalogue
