The foot has been slashed off by a little John Bull, who stands on the ocean pointing down at the two islands of 'Great Britain' and 'Ireland', towards which the amputated foot points. John holds a dripping sword, and looks up at the angry giant, saying, "I ax pardon Master Boney, but as we says Paws off Pompey, we keep this little Spot to Ourselves You must not Dance here Master Boney." Blood gushes from both sides of the amputation. Bonaparte, who wears his huge cocked hat, shouts, with gestures of pain and anger: "Ah you tam John Bull!! You have spoil my Dance, !! You have ruin all my Projets!!" 'Switzerland' and 'Italy' are also marked on the map in close proximity to France."--British Museum online catalogue</dc:description><dc:description>Title etched below image.</dc:description><dc:description>Attributed to Charles Williams in the British Museum catalogue.</dc:description><dc:description>Sheet trimmed within plate mark.</dc:description><dc:description>Publisher's advertisement in lower right: Folios of caracatures lent out.</dc:description><dc:description>Mounted at the corners on a leaf: 42 x 30 cm.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
