- Abstract:
- "Marie Louise, a handsome and buxom young termagant, has seized the imperial crown and sceptre, and threatens Napoleon (left) who crouches behind the smaller of two Chairs of State on the seat of which is his tricorne hat. She looks towards him, one toe resting on the seat of the chair, the crown raised as if she was about to hurl it; she declaims: "By the Head of Jove, I hate him worse than Famine or Diseases, Perish his Family, let inveterate Hate Commence between our Houses from this Moment, And meeting never let them bloodless part." The sceptre she holds out above the head of Talleyrand (right) who has fallen on his back and raises his hands to protect his head, shouting, "Be gar she will give us all de finishing Stroke". He is unrecognizable except for his crutch and his lame leg with its surgical shoe. Across his breeches are the words 'I shall never rise again'. Napoleon exclaims distractedly: "Oh Tally Tally rise and rally". Behind is a tall ghost-like figure (? Louis XVI) clutching a sheet round his curiously drawn form, and shouting "Marblue--Vat a Crown Cracker she be". Behind the Empress is the 'Coronation Chair', surmounted by a battered crown from which flies off a cock inscribed 'Gallic Cock Roupee'. In the foreground lie heaped-up crowns, including two imperial crowns, a Papal tiara (cf. British Museum Satires no. 11360), the iron crown of Italy (as in British Museum Satires no. 10432), and a laurel wreath."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A satire on the peace negotiations and on Windham's Training Act. The scene is outside the 'Treasury', the lower part of its façade forming the background. Ministers and their supporters as 'Corporal and Conscripts' obey the orders of their 'Drill-Serjeant' Napoleon, who stands on the extreme left., his jack-boots firmly planted on cannon-balls him height. He extends his sword with an arrogant gesture, and fiercely orders: "Ground - Arms!" Next him, and in back view, but looking up at him, is Fox seated in an invalid's wheeled chair on the back of which are the coronet and feathers of the Prince of Wales. He is 'Grand Double Drums' and is vigorously beating a pair of kettle-drums, one inscribed 'GR' and crown, the other 'N' and crown. He wears a dressing-gown and bonnet rouge, and his enormously distended legs are straddled outside his drums. On Fox's r. is the 'Flugel Man', Grenville, going through the movement as a pattern to the other privates. He kneels on the left knee and grounds his musket, putting up his hand to shield his eyes; his bayonet is broken, as is its sheath. The 'Corporal & Conscripts' drawn up (r.) facing Napoleon attempt the movement with extreme awkwardness and obsequious haste, not excepting Windham the corporal, the end man (r.) of the front rank. Next him is Lord Holland, on both knees, with an amiable smile. Then Sheridan, very bulky and awkward, but unlike the others directing his musket towards Napoleon. Petty, on both knees, flings down his musket with an obsequious gesture. Next him Lord Temple grovels displaying spherical posteriors. Next, at the end of the line, and close to the gate of the Treasury, kneels Erskine, in wig and gown, raising his hat. In the second rank, behind Windham, is Howick, First Lord, deferentially raising a naval cocked hat; Sidmouth staggers back, throwing up his arms and dropping his musket which lands on his face. Next are Spencer, clumsily lifting his musket, and Ellenborough in wig and gown, with a blunderbuss which he seems about to dash violently on the ground. Behind him is Moira, stiff and tall, in uniform with cocked hat, holding up a musket exploding at lock and barrel. Behind and in shadow are (l. to r.) St. Vincent, Hanger, and the Duke of Clarence, all holding up the muskets which the next rank prevents them from grounding. Most of the 'conscripts' wear civilian dress with crossed bandoleers, and are in most unsoldierly confusion. By the Treasury gate and facing Erskine stands the 'Constable of the Corps', Talleyrand, holding a long constable's staff, crowned, his left. arm extended in a gesture of command; one twisted leg is supported by a stilt under the shoe. As ex-Bishop of Autun (see BMSat 8088) he wears a hat whose crown is a mitre, a long gown and bands over his coat, and a rosary. In his mouth is a pen. Above his head a bird with webbed wings and the head of Lauderdale flies towards Fox, clutching a paper: 'Terms of Peace'. In his mouth is a completely are olive branch. He wears a bonnet rouge, and his body is covered with tartan."--British Museum online catalogue

Against the pedestal on which Truth stands rests a picture, filling the lower part of the design. Napoleon kneels on a rock, extending imploring arms towards Nilus, a nude and muscular figure seated on rock from which water gushes. Nilus veils and averts his head. In the background are pyramids and palm-trees."--British Museum online catalogue
