Hand-coloured etching. Plate 34.5 x 24.5cm, with good margins. George BM Satires 11213. A satire with only a 'partial relation to facts'; 'The satire relates particularly to Napoleon's Continental system, which included all the powers of Europe except Sweden and Portugal'. 'John Bull, a hideously carbuncled 'cit', looks down grinning at a semicircle of men on a much smaller scale who surround his half-length figure. They are (left to right) Napoleon, wearing a huge bicorne, who looks up to say 'Ships. Colonies and Commerce'. A man in military uniform, quite unlike Alexander, his back to Napoleon, says: 'Russian Vengeance attend John Bull. A fat Dutch burgher puffs smoke towards John, saying, I'll eternally smoke him'. A scowling man in civilian dress with tousled hair says: 'Let him tremble at the name of America'. Prussia, a handsome military officer in place of the damaged soldier who after Tilsit represented Frederick William III in English caricature, says: "Beware of Prussia". A similar officer (Francis I) says: 'Austria will never Pardon him'. A Spaniard wearing a cocked hat says: 'Spanish Fury overtake him'. A scowling face says: 'Let him beware of Denmark'. John says: 'Dont make such a riot you little noisy Brats, all your bustle to me is no more than a storm in a Chamber pot'. PLEASE NOTE: For customers within the UK this item is subject to VAT.
