Abstract:
Napoleon's brother Joseph presents himself as King of Spain to a reulctant and resisting crowd of Spanish citizens and soldiers and is flanked by disheveled French soldiers dramatically supporting Joseph. The Spanish crowd responds to the announcement with a series of defiant exclamations, "He was [?] attorney and we'll soon eject him from Spain", "Though a woman I am determined to resist", and "Yes commrade and for our chattels too if I guess right". Joseph, ignorant of the recalcitrance, wears a crown, cape, medallion and spreads his arms while saying, "For this kind and flattering reception much thanks, behold the brother of the great Napoleon come to reign over you for your goods." The French troops, incredulous at of the Spanish resistance, exclaim, "Will no one huzza will no one ring the bells, if you don't make a noise you shall all fall by the royal bayonet" and "Vive le Roy, huzza!".

Abstract:
The surface of a platform stretches across the design; on this Pitt (right), valiant but anxious, faces the massive Russian bear, Paul, behind whom stands a stout ferocious-looking Russian soldier (like a showman with a performing animal), nearsightedly reading a document: 'Be it known to all men, - that my master, - the most Magnanimous [see BMSat 9415] most puissant, most powerful and most wonderful great Bear of the north - being in his sound and sober senses - Challenges the Whole World to single combat - and commences his first trial of skill, here in Moorfields, after which it is his intention to persue his Travels, and visit every Court in Europe - Asia - Africa - and America'. The bear wears a plumed crown, a collar inscribed 'Paul Bruin', to which are attached the massive links of a chain. His drawn sword is 'Temper'd-á-lá-Suwarrow!' On his shield is a grotesque head with gaping mouth, and the inscription 'Swallow All O.' Pitt wears a plumed helmet and light armour. His sword is 'Temper'd á-lá Nelson', his shield is inscribed 'Howe', 'Duncan', 'Nelson', 'Jervaise' [St. Vincent], 'Warren', 'Parker'. The platform is surrounded by a dense and jovial crowd. The windows and roofs of the adjacent houses are crowded with tiny waving figures; a boy sits on the high wall before a bunding inscribed 'Moor Fields' and probably intended for Bedlam
