Russian amusement, or, The Corsican foot ball [graphic].Roberts, Piercy, active 1791-1805, printmaker[1 January 1814]eng"A burly whiskered and moustached Russian, wearing high fur cap, cloak, top-boots, and sword, gauntleted hands on hips, kicks a much smaller Napoleon into the air, contemptuously smoking a pipe. He says: "I'll teach you to insult Ambassadors Master Bouncing B," showing that he was originally intended for Markoff, and that the plate related to Napoleon's treatment of the Russian Ambassador in 1803, see British Museum Satires Nos. 10016, 10091. Napoleon's huge bicorne falls from his head; he says: "I'll not be treated in this way I will have my own way in every thing"."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Printmaker from British Museum catalogue.Probably a second reissue by Tegg of a plate first published by Piercy Roberts in 1803.
