Britannia correcting an unruly boy [graphic]Williams, Charles, active 1797-1830, printmaker[13 June 1803]eng"Britannia, tall and powerful, holds Napoleon across her knee, and raises a birch rod to thrash his bleeding posterior. She wears Roman draperies, with corslet and plumed helmet. The rod is tied with a ribbon inscribed: 'United Kingdoms'. She says: "There take that and that and that, and be carefull not to provoke my Anger more." He exclaims: "oh forgive me this time and I never will do so again, oh dear! oh dear! you'll entirely spoil the Honors of the Sitting." Beside Britannia (left) are her spear and sword; beside Napoleon (right) his huge cocked hat and sabre. The scene is by the sea (left), with a fleet of retreating vessels flying the tricolour flag. On the right is a cliff on which a small British lion lies on a scroll inscribed: 'Qui uti scit ei bona' [good things to him who knows how to use them]."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Printmaker identified as Charles Williams in the British Museum catalogue.Publisher's advertisement in lower right: Folios of caracatures [sic] lent out for the evening.With watermark: A.
