Fighting for the dunghill, or, Jack Tar settling Buonaparte [graphic]Gillray, James, 1756-1815, printmaker[20 November 1798]eng"A British sailor, firmly planted astride the globe, is severely punishing Bonaparte, who, with one knee precariously on 'Turk[ey]' (Egypt), is about to fall backwards into space. Bonaparte wears a huge cocked hat, is naked from the waist, but wears sleeve-ruffles, according to the old gibe on the beggarly French fop. He is much emaciated, and gashed with wounds; 'Nelson' is inscribed on his solar plexus. Blood gushes from his nose. Jack Tar's right leg stretches across central Europe, the toe supported on 'Malta'. Clouds form a background."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Sheet trimmed within plate mark.Temporary local subject terms: Boxing -- Maps: globes -- Uniforms: sailor's uniform -- Jack Tar (Symbolic character).1 print : etching & aquatint on wove paper, hand-colored ; plate mark 26.0 x 36.3 cm, on sheet 29.2 x 40.6 cm.Watermark: E & P.Mounted on leaf 73 of volume 4 of 12.
