A stoppage to a stride over the globe [graphic].Roberts, Piercy, active 1791-1805, printmakerJanry. 1, 1807.eng"Napoleon bestraddles the globe, seated at the Pole, about half of it being between his legs; countries are marked, but without regard to geography. A little figure looks from behind the globe (right) below the conqueror's left toe; his left hand is placed on 'Old England', and he raises a sabre menacingly. Napoleon, a fine figure, wearing an enormous cocked hat, a sabre in his right hand, looks down at the little man, his left arm extended; he says: "Ah, who is it dares interupt me in my Progress." The little fellow answers: "Why 'tis I little Johnny Bull Protecting a little spot I clap my hand on, and d-n. me if you come any Farther that's all." He is a 'cit' with an ill-fitting wig. 'France' lies between 'Switzerland', on which Napoleon's right foot rests, and 'Itali' [north of 'England'], on which is his left leg."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image; lowercase letter "a" preceding "stride" is etched backwards.Printmaker from British Museum catalogue.Second reissue of a plate first published by Piercy Roberts in 1803 and then reissued by Blacklock in May 1806; Blacklock's imprint statement is scored through but still visible in lower right corner of design.
