- Abstract:
- "Eight designs in two rows, each with lines parodying 'the House that Jack built' etched above each. Some section of the bridge appears in Nos. 1-5. [1] Tiny French soldiers gallop across the bridge; a man punts in the rapidly flowing river. Behind is Leipzig, a walled town backed by hills. Above: "This is the Bridge that was blown into air." [2] Three men, wearing helmets and aprons, excavate a pit beside the bridge, from which a man looks down: "These are the Miners that had the care / Of mining the Bridge . . . [&c.]." [3] A Grenadier corporal holds a long match towards the covered pit; three tiny Grenadiers run across the bridge: "This is the Corporal, stout and strong, / Who fired the Mine with his match so long, / Which was made by the Miners . . . [&c.]." [4] A swaggering officer points at the ground, looking over his shoulder at the corporal, who runs forward with his match, saluting obsequiously: "This is the Colonel of Infantry, Who ordered the Corporal . . . [&c.]." [5] The colonel listens deferentially to an officer who whispers in his ear, pointing downwards: "This is the Marshal of high degree / Who whispered the Colonel.. .[&c.]." [6] Napoleon gallops from the battlefield, indicated by a drum in the foreground and bodies in the background: "This is the Emperor who scampered away, / And left the Marshal . . . [&c.]." [7] Refugees, including women with infants and an old farmer, make gestures of despair. Behind is the blazing town which more fugitives are leaving: "These are the Thousands who cursed the day, / Which made him Emperor ... [&c.]." [8] Four allied sovereigns in a tent consult over a map held between them. Alexander (left) sits on a camp-stool, the others stoop over the map: the King of Prussia is in back view, facing the Emperor of Austria. Bernadotte faces the Tsar: "These are the Monarchs so gen'rous and brave, / Who conquered the Tyrant, and Liberty gave, / To Thousands on Thousands . . . [&c.]"."--British Museum online catalogue

- "The interior of a tent. Duroc, in his shirt, lies supported by a soldier on a wooden bed, while Napoleon (right) holds his right hand, turning away (to the right) and covering his face with his left hand. An officer stands solicitously beside the Emperor, supporting his left elbow. Another officer stands (left) behind the head of the low bed. On the extreme left a soldier bends over a table compounding medicaments. Duroc's coat and sword lie on a camp-stool, beside his hat and boots. A glimpse of the distant camp is seen on the extreme right, where a Mameluke stands by the tent holding Napoleon's horse. Duroc is addressing the Emperor, with his left arm extended. Their words are etched below the title: "Duroc, "My whole life has been consecrated to your service, nor do I regret its loss, but for the use it still might have been of to your Buonaparte, "Duroc!" there is a life to come; it is there you are going to wait for me, and where we shall one day meet again!" Duroc, "Yes Sire! but that will not be these thirty years, when you will have triumphed over your enimies [sic], and realised all the hopes of your country, I have lived an honest man: I have nothing to reproach myself with, ah! Sire! go away this sight gives you pain--Be, "Farewell then my friend"."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Atlas (right), bearded and muscular, nude except for swirling drapery, kneels on one knee, supporting with both hands a terrestrial globe which he pushes towards Napoleon on whom it is about to fall. The Emperor staggers back, dropping his sword, his left arm and right leg are raised high, to ward off the impact. He looks up, terrified, and says: "France be mine! Holland be mine! Italy be mine! Spain & Poland be mine! Russ, Prussia Turky, de whole World vil be mine!!! Monsr Atlas hold up dont let it fall on me." Atlas, with a menacing frown, answers: "When the Friends of Freedom and Peace have stop'd your shakeing it on my shoulders [and] got their own again, I'll bear it, till then you may carry it yourself Master Boney!" Close behind Napoleon (left) two French marshals or generals flee to the left, looking back at the globe One (left) says: "By Gar tis true tis fall on your Head! votre Serviteur! we no stop to be crush vid you"; the other: "Votre Serviteur Monsr Boney." Napoleon's head is scarcely caricatured, the generals are grotesques in the manner of Gillray, e.g. in British Museum Satires No. 9403, 'French Generals retiring, on account of their Health . . .' The globe is patterned with continents and islands regardless of geography."--British Museum online catalogue

A well-dressed English traveller (left) addresses a sturdy Irishman (right): "Why Pat! you have a variety of curious Roads here, but hav'nt you any Road to Preferment?" Pat answers: "Arrah my Jewel, but that Road has been removed to England ever since the Union; you pass through it to the Kings Palace and I['m] tould it's the dirtiest Road in Great Britain!"."--British Museum online catalogue
