A satire on the financial crisis of 1720 ... Time draws back the curtain to reveal what appears to be a large painting showing a 'Roomse Schilderij', the deathbed of Pope Clement XI in March 1721. In front of the bed stand John Law and the Old Pretender, who has lost his wig and hat; they hold strings attached to the sails of a windmill on the canopy of the bed, beside which are the French cock, the Imperial eagle and the lion of the Netherlands. A thread encircles the waists of Law, the Pretender and Cardinal Alberoni who stands on the far side of the bed. At the head of the bed stands a group of cardinals holding up the papal tiara as the future Innocent XIII reaches for it; his medallion portrait hangs above, with an angel driving away a devil as the background. The Director being pushed forward by the satyrs is now identified as Robert Knight, cashier of the South Sea Company; coins fall from his pocket. The town in the distance is now 'Vryplaats'. The two vignettes at the bottom of the sheet have been changed, that on the left, which still has the same design is now identified as the son of the Pretender (born in 1720); that on the right, now showing a wheel of fortune with Pope Innocent at the top holding a scourge which he directs towards Law who falls down at the left, and destroying with a lightning bolt a paper representing the constitution as the Pretender ascends on the right; Cardinal Alberoni is at the bottom of the wheel. Engraved Dutch title, inscriptions, and verse in three columns which differs from those in the original state

Abstract:
"Napoleon stands, colossus-like, legs apart, his head turned in profile to the right, looking down with an expression of despair. He is on a high dais beside his throne (right), and turns his back on the crowded hall. He wears a crown and imperial robe over ragged uniform. A tattered sleeve leaves his right forearm and elbow bare; his legs are naked between tattered remnants of breeches and spurred boots through which his toes project. He weeps, with a handkerchief to his eye, and his right hand touching the star on his breast. Behind him (left) is a sea of heads receding in perspective; these are burlesqued, with expressions registering dismay, cynicism, or sly satisfaction. Among them are three bishops wearing mitres. At the back of the hall is a gallery filled with heads on a tiny scale, feathered head-dresses show them to be ladies. Napoleon's words fill a large label covering the upper part of the design: "I myself entered Russia, the Russian armies could not stand before our armies. The French arms were constantly victorious.---- ------"a swarm of Tartars turned their ---- parricidal hands against the finest provinces of that vast Empire which they had been called to defend.---- "But the excessive and premature rigour of the winter brought down a heavy calamity upon my army---- in a few nights I saw every thing change.---- "the misfortunes produced by rigour of hoar frosts, have been made apparent in all their extent, ---- I experienced great losses--they would have broken my heart, if under such circumstances I could have been accessible to any other sentiments than those of the interest,--the glory,--and the future prosperity of my people.-- "I have signed with the Pope a Concordat, which terminates all the diffirences [sic] that unfortunately had arisen in the Church.--The French dynasty--reigns,-- and will reign in Spain.--I am satisfied with all my allies.--I will abandon none of them.--The Russians shall return into their frightful climate [cf.

Abstract:
"Napoleon mounted on an ass in profile to the right faces a piece of water in which 'Dutch light Horse' (cf. British Museum Satires No. 8478), fat Dutch soldiers, are mounted on huge frogs. All wear bonnets rouges with bulky breeches defining heavy posteriors. All hold drawn sabres and have small kegs (of Hollands) under the left arm; although they are smoking they have a disciplined and martial appearance compared with the Frenchmen. Napoleon wears a huge bicorne with crown and plume, and holds a sabre against his shoulder. His ass brays and urinates violently. A burlesqued and very miscellaneous staff and escort is grouped behind him; they have a tricolour flag and an eagle, while a soldier holding a second eagle struggles painfully out of the water. Immediately behind Napoleon are a drummer beating a drum, and a dwarfish companion blowing a fife. Both wear high conical caps with drooping peaks. A soldier with curved ('cheese-cutter') shins negligently holds a musket, looking mournfully at a fat friar, also with a musket, who drinks from a bottle of 'Friars Balsam'. There is an eighth man with a grotesquely sharp profile. In the background a column of tiny soldiers stretches away in an endless line to the right. Behind them are the roofs and towers of a town."--British Museum online catalogue
