"An obese, elderly man, completely bald, sits in an arm-chair while a shopman pours oil from a bottle (straw-covered like a Chianti flask) on to his scalp, pressing down his head with the left hand. At his feet is a basin to receive the overflow. On the ground is a tall 'Fools Cap', with ears. Behind them stands a woman with a shock of red hair standing on end; she looks in horror at its reflection in a wall-mirror (right). On the wall above her head is a placard: 'Wonderful Discovery Carrotty or Grey Whiskers Changed to Black Brown or Blue--' High on the wall are shelves where bottles of the oil are closely ranged, one inscribed 'Wig Oil One Guinea Pr Bottle'. Behind the shopman (left) stands a big Ali Baba jar. Across the wall is a large placard inscribed: 'Macassar Oil, for the Growth of Hair is the finest invention ever known for encreasing hair on bald Places, Its virtues are pre-eminent for improving and beautifying the Hair of Ladies and Gentlemen--This invaluable Oil recommended on the basis of truth and experience is sold at One Guinea Pr Bottle by all the Perfumers and Medicine Venders in the Kingdom'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"Napoleon runs away from Talleyrand, who aims a violent kick at him with the heavy surgical shoe on his right foot, raising his crutched stick to smite the fugitive. Napoleon holds his hat, a bicorne, and looks over his shoulder with a terrified stare to say: "Votre tres humble Serviteur Monsieur Tally." Talleyrand, furiously vindictive, exclaims: "Va ten Cocquin I'll crack your Crown you pitiful Vagabond." He holds a bulky document: 'Abdication or the Last Dying Speech of a Murderer Who is to be difered [sic] into the hands of the Devil the first fair Wind.' Beside Napoleon a gibbet with a dangling noose serves as sign-post, pointing 'To the Isle of Elba'. Across a piece of water on the extreme left is an islet on which is a high gallows from which hang six tiny corpses. In the background a British sailor with a bludgeon is running by the shore; he says: "What let him sneak of without a Mark or a Scratch No No I'll darken his Day Lights for him." Behind Talleyrand maimed French soldiers are running forward as fast as crutches and infirmity allow. Three have fallen; the foremost says: "Bone him my Tight little Tally"."--British Museum online catalogue

Subject (Name):
Napoleon I, Emperor of the French, 1769-1821 and Talleyrand-Périgord, Charles Maurice de, prince de Bénévent, 1754-1838
"A copy, probably much enlarged, of a German print, der rheinische courier | '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

"A handsome strapping woman stands in the doorway of a brothel, a corner house of some size (right), tugging hard at the neck-cloth of a plainly dressed man, saying, "Wont you come, wont you come Mr Mug [a popular song, see British Museum Satires No. 11205]." He leans back, pushing against the door-post, and the woman's chest, trying to escape, and saying: "Avaunt thee Satan." Two laughing prostitutes lean against him (left), pushing their posteriors against his, to prevent his escape; one of them, for better purchase, presses her hands and a foot against the post of the sign-board before the door. On this is a pictorial sign: 'Cat and Bagpipes'. A dog rushes barking towards the struggle. Behind (left), across the street, is a row of old houses with casement windows; washing hangs from a projecting pole."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"Napoleon (left) looks up terrified at an arm holding a sword emerging from clouds (right), with the words: "Thou'rt doom'd to Pain, at which the Damn'd will tremble | And take their own for Joys--." The sword has a jagged blade, intended to symbolize flames. He wears plain uniform with epaulets; his small bicorne is falling off. On the right, beneath the avenging arm, is Napoleon's chair of state, overturned; beside it are heaped a large fringed canopy or curtain, a spiky crown (cf. British Museum Satires No. 12252), and sceptre. From behind the folds of the curtain the Devil emerges, winged and ferocious; he grasps Napoleon's leg. Beside Napoleon is a pile of crowns and gold plate. There are heavy clouds behind Napoleon and on the right, above and below the arm and sword."--British Museum online catalogue
