'verliehrt auf der Heimreise von der Leipziger Messe alles' (reproduced Broadley, ii. 117). Napoleon runs in profile to the left, holding in both hands a pole like that of a running footman, but topped by the head of the sceptre of Charlemagne (an emblem of the Empire) inscribed 'Carolus Magnus'. His head and uniform evidently derive from Dähling's engraving of Napoleon in the uniform of the Colonel of the Chasseurs of the Guard (reproduced, Dayot, 'Napoléon', p. 205), on which British Museum Satires No. 12177 is based, but on his back is the hairy knapsack of a private (as in British Museum Satires No. 12308). Its contents fly out as he runs. On the ground are two prints of French soldiers at attention, 'Alte Garde' and 'Junge Garde'; maps fall to the ground: 'Poland', 'Rhein Bund', 'Hanstat [sic] Departement', 'Sewitszerla[nd]' [sic], 'Holland', 'Italy', which has hardly left the knapsack; two rolled maps are about to fall: 'Brabant' and 'Bheisufer' [i.e. Rheinufer or Bouches du Rhin]. He runs diagonally towards a broad river, the Rhine; on the farther side are the buildings of 'Maynz', reflected in the water. Just before him runs a hare. The original, including inscriptions, is closely followed, but the hare (cf. British Museum Satires No. 12564) has been added and a bush removed."--British Museum online catalogue. and "A copy, probably much enlarged, of a German print, der rheinische courier

"The left of the stage seen from the right with part of the orchestra in the foreground, and two stage-boxes on the left. The singer, a handsome young man of feminine appearance, bows, hands on heart, singing loudly. He wears quasi-Roman armour, with an enormous feathered helmet, a cloak, bare arms and legs, with cothurnes. In the centre of the lower box a stout man in regimentals yawns violently, looking disparagingly at the singer. A handsome lady next him turns her head towards the stage. Four other men in the box are amused or quizzical; one uses an ear-trumpet. In the upper box an elderly 'cit' grimaces with angry contempt; his wife yawns cavernously, as does a head in the background. The orchestra sit facing each other; all are elderly; all register active lack of appreciation."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A confused scene. A beadle, cane in hand, grasps the side of an overturned barrow, from which a basket, scales, and black puddings (coloured green) have fallen. A powerful young woman grasps his nose, and prepares to use her fist; an older woman clutches his back and belabours him with a basket. Both are shrieking termagants with bare breasts. A dog between the beadle's legs barks. The spectators, all close to the fray, are amused: a butcher, shouldering a tray of meat, stands outside his stall (left), which is immediately behind the combatants; from it dangle large joints and a carcase. A woman passes, pushing a barrow (left). A man's grinning face watches from the right. Behind (right) is a shop placarded 'Bob Giblet Poulterer', its ancient front hidden by bunches of hares and turkeys."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.
