Abstract:
"A fat Dutchman (right), with left leg raised high, has kicked Napoleon into the air, towards a large exulting Devil crouching before the flames of Hell (left). Napoleon's bicorne is falling to the ground, his sword flies up, attached to the belt. The Devil grasps Napoleon by the left ankle. He is a naked satyr with hairy legs, barbed tail, fierce talons, as in British Museum Satires No. 6283 by Rowlandson. The Dutchman holds a goblet above his head, in his left hand is a long tobacco-pipe. He wears the usual bulky breeches with short jacket, and has a big (orange) cockade in his high-crowned hat. In the background a second Dutchman lunges forward with a pitchfork pressed against the posterior of Joseph, who runs screaming towards the flames, his crown on the ground behind him. The scene is the sea-shore, with three ships (right) at anchor."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"In a goblet-shaped glass vessel on the top of a cylindrical 'German Stove' a little Napoleon is being heated to dissolution point. Two retorts are connected with this vessel inscribed 'Intrigue and Villainy' and 'Ambition and Folly'; four others issue symmetrically from the stove: 'Gasconade and Lies', 'Fire and Sword', 'Arrogance and Atrocity', 'Murder and Plunder'. In the front of the stove is an opening for the fire; this is being stoked by John Bull (left), a fat 'cit' who leans forward, supporting 'Iohn Bulls Coal Tub', and holding out a lump of coal in a pair of tongs. His vis-à-vis is a fat Dutchman (right) who crouches on his knees plying a pair of 'Dutch Bellows'. He wears a cap and is smoking a pipe; beside him is a pot marked 'Gall'. Behind John stand five sovereigns or personifications of their countries: the King of Würtemberg, grotesquely obese, gazes up, pointing a finger as if giving directions; he holds an open book: 'Publishd Wirtemburgh'. Bernadotte, wearing several orders, triumphantly empties into the steaming vessel a bottle labelled 'Sulphat of Swedish Iron'. Behind him are the hussar who stands in these prints for Prussia or Frederick William III, and (?) Francis I. Between Bernadotte and the glass is an older face, perhaps the King of Saxony. All look up exultingly at the tortured Napoleon. Facing this group stands a German officer (right) stretching up to hold a lid which he is about to clap down on the vessel, though this reaches only to below the victim's waist. Napoleon, in profile to the left, puts one hand to his head with a despairing gesture, and flings out his left arm as if to ward off the extinguishing lid; he exclaims: "Oh Spare me till the King of Rome / Is ripe for mischief yet to come." On the extreme right a Spanish don pounds with a pestle in a large mortar inscribed 'Saragossa'. On the left are four men seated close together at a round table where one of them, a large Cossack, is mixing chemicals. He is directed to the left and holds a book while he mixes the contents of a small pot; a pair of scales lies on the table on which are also jars and an hour-glass. The other three watch intently; next him is a man wearing a fur cap inscribed 'Polar Star' (? Sweden or Poland) who also appears in British Museum Satires No. 12117. His neighbour resembles the Emperor of Austria, but he and the man on the extreme left may be the King of Bavaria and the Duke of Baden, princes of the Confederation of the Rhine. On the ground near the table three books are propped up. The largest is open; on the left page but scored through are the words 'Napoleon Protecter of the Rhenish Confederacy'; on the right page: 'Francis Emperor of Germany restored 1813'. The others are 'Liberty of Germany' and 'The Downfall of Boney'. Behind the Cossack, but directed to the right and watching Napoleon, stands the Pope, wearing his tiara and holding a bottle in each hand containing 'Fulminating Powder' and 'Vial of Wrath'. Chemical appliances are indicated in the background."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A design based on Gillray's 'Maniac Ravings', British Museum Satires No. 9998. Napoleon, scarcely caricatured, but poorly characterized, stands addressing an audience of seated men who listen with varying expressions, the corner of his platform projecting into a sea of heads (left), while on the right a file of soldiers with fixed bayonets or drawn swords is indicated. At his side, the little King of Rome, in officer's uniform, with a plumed bicorne, gapes down at the audience; his over-long sabre trails on the ground, he bestrides a tall military cane; his profile resembles without repeating (as in other prints) that of his father, but remains childish and blank. Napoleon stands in a commanding attitude with his right arm extended, his left hand on the hilt of his sabre, legs apart. He wears military dress with a plumed bicorne in which a tricolour cockade is unusually conspicuous. Behind him (right) his arm-chair, closely copied from the 'Consular Chair' of British Museum Satires No. 9998 and with a similar Medusa head, falls, all its legs in air. Beside it, a damaged terrestrial globe, as in British Museum Satires No. 9998, has fallen, but is directed to the left instead of to the right; it has the inscriptions 'America' and 'Atlantic Ocean'. As before, Napoleon's words radiate from his head as if inscribed on clouds. On the right, reading downward: 'Did I not swear I would destroy Austria? Did I not swear I would destroy Prussia Did I not leave the Russians 1200 pieces of cannon to build a monument of the victory of Moscow Did I not lead 498,000 men to gather fresh Laurels in Russia--Did I not burn Moscow--and leave 400,000 brave soldiers to perish in the snow for the good of the French nation?' On the left: 'Did I not swear I would destroy Sweden Did I not swear "I would have" Colonies & Commerce [see British Museum Satires No. 10439, &c.] Did I not build more ships than you could find Sailors for" Did I not burn all the British produce bought and paid for by my faithful merchants--before their faces, for the good of them and my good people of Paris? Have I not called my troops from Holland--that they might not winter in that foggy climate? [see British Museum Satires No. 12102, &c.] Have I not called my troops from Spain and Portugal to the ruin of the English? Did I not change my religion and turn Turk, for the good of the French Nation [see British Museum Satires No. 9973, &c.]. Have I not blown up [the earliest instance in the 'O.E.D.' of blow up, meaning to scold, is Lytton's 'Pelham', 1827] the Corporal, for blowing up the Bridge [see British Museum Satires No. 12108] Have I not robbed the Churches of twenty flags to send to my Empress, for the loss of my own flags & Eagles? And now for the good of my Empire, Behold! O ye Lads of Paris! I have put the King of Rome in Breeches!!!'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Napoleon (right) lies on his face under the sharp teeth of a harrow; two ropes are attached to it, at each of which representatives of three nations are tugging. In the foreground a British sailor hauls behind him a Spanish don in slashed tunic and breeches, feathered hat, cloak, and ruff. The third is a man of nondescript appearance wearing a cap with a drooping peak, probably intended to represent Sicily, which the British had held as an outpost against Napoleon. On the other rope the chief figure is a Prussian hussar; next him is (?) a Swede in a fur cap, and on the end of the rope a man wearing a cavalry helmet of French type is probably intended for an Austrian. These six fill the left of the design. Russia is represented by a bearded Cossack who stands on the right, prodding at Napoleon with his long spear. On the harrow sits a fat Dutchman, smoking his pipe with a fiercely preoccupied expression, with his left hand in his breeches pockets. Napoleon, much distressed, cries: "Oh this heavy Dutchman. O had I not enough to bear before!!!" Two birds swoop down from the left; one says: "I smell Carrion"."--British Museum online catalogue

"A crowded turbulent scene in the market square, Norwich. In the foreground, on trestles, is the carcass of a bull which two butchers are cutting up. Men struggle or clamour for fragments, or gnaw and fight over bones. On the right a huge cask has been broached; women fill pitchers and pails; one lies senseless. In the background a dense crowd is in procession, backed by the houses of the city; a bonfire burns unattended. The cheering crowd moves from right to Ieft, following banners, one inscribed 'Downfall of the Tyrant', and an effigy of Napoleon raised high on a pole and surrounded by pikes."--British Museum online catalogue
