Abstract:
"A burly whiskered and moustached Russian, wearing high fur cap, cloak, top-boots, and sword, gauntleted hands on hips, kicks a much smaller Napoleon into the air, contemptuously smoking a pipe. He says: "I'll teach you to insult Ambassadors Master Bouncing B," showing that he was originally intended for Markoff, and that the plate related to Napoleon's treatment of the Russian Ambassador in 1803, see British Museum Satires Nos. 10016, 10091. Napoleon's huge bicorne falls from his head; he says: "I'll not be treated in this way I will have my own way in every thing"."--British Museum online catalogue

"A Cossack (right), highly delighted, uses a large pair of snuffers to grip the head of a tiny figure of Napoleon (left), emerging like a candle from a flat candlestick which stands (left) on a three-legged stool. Napoleon's feet are within the socket of the candlestick; he wears uniform, with immense plumes in his bicorne. He stands with fingers outspread, turning his head in profile to the right, his mouth wide open as if shrieking. The Cossack is a large figure, boldly drawn, wearing furred cap with aigrette and a sword. He is in a slightly crouching attitude, right leg extended and resting on the heel, left arm raised, as if dancing (cf. British Museum Satires No. 12046). On the wall above Napoleon is a print of a seated Cossack about to place an extinguisher over a tiny and terrified Napoleon."--British Museum online catalogue

Too short by a yard! I wonder how Josephino put up with such things even as long as she did!!!' Napoleon lies beside her, resting on his right elbow and looking off discontentedly to right, replying, 'Indeed Maria I do not well understand you? The Empress Josephino who knew things better than I hope you do, never grumbled - Le Diable! I see I never will be able to get what I want after all!!!'

Abstract:
"Napoleon sits on a stool or low-backed hair holding the two younger sons of the King of Spain, dressed as infants in long robes, one on each knee. His legs are wide astride, and with his jackboots he rocks two large wicker cradles on the left and right. Both are inscribed 'Imperial Cradle'; on the right sleep the King and Queen, the latter wearing a nieht-cap, and with her back to her husband. The head of the cradle is inscribed 'The Good Old King and his Amiable Consort.' On the left Ferdinand, a burly infant, sleeps in the cradle inscribed 'Prince of Austurias' [sic]. Napoleon wears a large feathered bicorne, and looks down with a twisted cynical expression at the children on his knee, both fast asleep with expressionless faces. A collar is padlocked round each neck, inscribed 'Antonio and Carlos'. He says: "Hush a bye - Hush a bye - you shall have your crowns again - but I dont know when!"."--British Museum online catalogue

"A spider with the head of Napoleon is the centre of a large irregular web which stretches across the design. He wears his plumed bicorne, and his head is in profile to the left devouring two 'Spanish Flies' which fly into his mouth (Charles IV and Ferdinand). His bloated body is inscribed 'Unbounded Ambition'. The other flies in the web are Austrian Fly (left), with a number of little flies beside it; a swarm of 'Small Flies innumerable' is scattered thickly over the upper part of the web; on the outer circumference (right) the 'Pope Fly', saying, "I am afraid I shall be draggd in." Below: the 'Venetian Fly', a mere corpse; 'Italian Fly'. On the lower part of the web: 'Hamburgh Fly', 'Prussian Fly', 'Hanoverian Fly', 'Etrurion Fly'.

Just touching the circumference with its front legs, below the Prussian and Hamburg Flies, is the 'Russian Fly', with the head of the Tsar, wearing a cocked hat; he says: "I declare I was half in the web, before I made the discovery." A large fly flying below the web (left), with a human head wearing a jewelled turban, is the 'Turkish Fly'; he says: "I am afraid it will be my turn next." In the upper left. corner, outside the web, is a solid John Bull, with four wings. He looks down at the spider, saying, "Ay you may look Master Spider but I am not to be caught in your web."

"Marie Louise (left) sits on the edge of a canopied bed adjusting her garter (she is perhaps adapted from Mrs. Fitz-herbert in Gillray's 'The Morning after Marriage', British Museum Satires No. 7298). Her back is to Napoleon, who sits up in bed turning to the Devil (right) who approaches from behind the curtain, pitchfork in hand. The Emperor's hand rests on an open book: 'Aristotle's Master-piece or the Secrets of Nature Reveal'd'. He says: "My good friend I smell your approach, and know what you are come about, I am loth to part with Maria yet, and am consulting this book before I determine, yes! yes! she must sleep with her Aunts & Cousins if it is necessary for my Reputation I'll not he laughd at". The Devil, who is nude, with horns, webbed wings, and barbed tail, answers: "Poh! Poh! dont gammon me about books, you know your impotence, send her to Heaven, or I'll withdraw my protection and you'll come to Hell presto". Marie Louise says: "Oh dear! if this is the deligt's of Love I am surfeited already, to be sure few husbands disturb their wives rest more than mine does, but it's with starting & kicking in his sleep & crying have mercy on me. I suppose Josephine used to worry him so. bless me what a smell of brimstone there is!"

Abstract:
"Napoleon and Marie Louise are awkwardly seated on a throne (right) watching a comet representing the King of Rome, while the child's gouvernante proudly holds him up to gaze at the phenomenon through a telescope. The comet is a disk containing a naked child wearing a cocked hat, and holding a bowl; a gallic cock stands on his posterior, from which the comet's tail issues, reaching the real child. Five grotesque and elderly Frenchmen kneel with gestures of adoration (left); one kisses the toe which the Empress holds out. They have plans of the heavens; on the ground beside them is a plan showing the child-comet surrounded by stars and a waning moon. Napoleon wears a plumed bicorne and Hessian boots; he looks through a telescope, seated on the edge of the throne, right leg raised and resting on Marie Louise. The King of Rome, who as usual has his father's features (see British Museum Satires No. 11719), wears a similar hat and a little shirt. His gouvernante, Mme de Montesquiou, is dressed as nourrice rather than court lady. The throne is surrounded by draperies supported on pillars; it is surmounted by the iron crown of Italy and the back and arms are formed of carved eagles."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The infant King of Rome sits on the lap of his Governess to receive the compliments of a long procession of deputies. She offers the child's bare posterior, from which issues an explosion, to the lips of the foremost deputy who kneels obsequiously on a cushion. The child has his father's face, as in British Museum Satires No. 11719, &c., and wears a cocked hat and military tunic; he flourishes a rattle, ignoring the homage. The deputies all wear long robes over court dress with sword and are burlesqued; the second holds his nose, many take snuff. The long procession recedes in perspective (right). The Governess is also grotesque and elderly, wearing old-fashioned dress and an elaborate frilled cap. She sits on the little King's throne which is on a dais. It is topped by the iron crown of Italy with a sceptre and baton; on the back is an imperial eagle above a wreath enclosing the letters 'R R' [Rex Romae]. The leading deputy: "Madam Governess. not one of us can behold without a most lively interest, that August Infant--on whom rest so many Destinies, and whose Age and Charming--Qualiteys, inspires the Most tender Sentiments in the French and Surrounding Nations." She answers with a staring grin: "Monsieurs, --I thank you for the polite and flattering encomiums, You are pleased to bestow on me--I thank you in the Name of the Young Prince, Whoes Charms are Inexpressible. and regret that he can not add his personal sentiments to those which I entertain, to the--Legislative Body." Napoleon (left) watches the homage from behind a curtain which divides the child's throne from women who are washing the infant's napkins; he holds up a forefinger and stares intently. A disreputable old woman washing a tub-full of 'Shi--en Clouts' also watches; her tub rests on a low stool under which a dog urinates, and on which are bottle, glass, and snuff-box. Another, behind Napoleon, hangs 'Royal Clouts' on a line in front of a steaming copper. She says, "The Stench from the Young Urchin is intolerable--he smells like a pole Cat." A basket of 'Foul Linen' is on the ground."--British Museum online catalogue
