- Abstract
-
"John Bull, a sturdy citizen, displays to the Tsar who is a crowned bear on its hind-legs (left), an enormous open book: 'John Bulls Journal'. This rests on the ground, and reaches to John's chest; he points to the right.-hand page: 'The Great the Magnanimous Catherine of Russia seized upon One third of the Kingdom of Poland and Kept it to herself - These Peaceful Danes Seiz'd on the City of Hamburgh.' He says: "So you say Master Bruin, that my visit to Denmark has no parallel in History- do be so good as to turn your spectacles to this page and refresh Your Memory." The bear peers gloomily through huge spectacles at the page. Round his neck is a collar: 'This Bear belongs to Napoleo[n]'."--British Museum online catalogue
