After: P. F. Mitchell. Published: Piercy Roberts. Political satire: Napoleon stands beside a grinning devil, who emerges from the ground, looking across the channel, full of ships, at Britain seething with battalions, saying that he will lose his easily acquired fame if he invades, and must persuade the French that he should not command the expedition, fearing he will meet his friend the devil sooner than he wishes if he does so. Description from the British Museum.
