‘The Last March of the Conscripts, or Satan and his Satellites hurled to the land of oblivion’ (April 17, 1814), represents Napoleon and his brothers all chained together in a gang, heavily fettered, in tatters, and being whipped by a most ferocious Cossack. To add to poor Boney’s miseries, his little child is pulling at his coat-tails crying, ‘Didn’t you promise me I should be a King?’ Talleyrand is rejoicing, and a large box of crowns and sceptres is labelled, ‘To the right owners.’ ‘A delicate finish to a French Usurper’ is by T. N. (April 20, 1814), although Mr. Grego places it as one of Rowlandson’s--who possibly may have etched it. Boney, Canker of our joys, Now thy tyrant reign is o’er; Fill the Merry Bowl, my Boys, Join in Bacchanalian roar. Seize the villain, plunge him in; See, the hated miscreant dies. Mirth and all thy train come in, Banish sorrow, tears, and sighs. This represents Bonaparte, seated on a throne of skulls and bones, very ill indeed. His crown of tyranny has fallen off and is broken, and he is in the act of disgorging ‘The Throne of France,’ having already done so with Holland, Rome, Portugal, &c.--in fact, all his previous successes: nay, the very bees are flying away from off his imperial mantle. Time is putting an extinguisher on his head; whilst the Duke of Wellington, the Emperor Alexander, he of Austria, and the Crown Prince, stand looking at Blücher, who is administering his ‘black draught’ to the patient. Three dancing females--two of them holding a shield charged with the Bourbon lilies over the head of the third--typify the joy of France at the Emperor’s downfall and Louis the Eighteenth’s accession to the throne. ‘Boney at Elba--or, a Madman’s Amusement’ (April 20, 1814), is a very characteristic caricature. So high he’s mounted on his airy Throne, That now the wind has got into his Head, And turns his brains to Frenzy. Bonaparte, crowned with a straw crown, and wielding a straw sceptre, is setting light to a straw cannon, with which he is supposed to be aiming at straw dummies of Russia, Prussia, Austria, and Sweden. The cannon naturally catches alight, and his army (one corporal) calls out, ‘Ah! Diable, mais you was burn Le Materiel, you burn your playtings.’ The mad monarch, however, persists, and replies, ‘Now these fellows shall know what the Conqueror of the World can do ---- Corporal! D---- you Sir! don’t you blow up the Bridge till I order you.’ [Illustration: BONEY AT ELBA--OR, A MADMAN’S AMUSEMENT.] ‘“Cruce dignus,” the Grand Menagerie, with an exact representation of NAPOLEON BONAPARTE,[41] the little Corsican monkey, as he may probably appear at the island of Elba,’ is a reproduction of the engraving by Lee in 1803 of ‘Pidcock’s Grand Menagerie,’ and, as the letterpress is almost identical, it is not worth giving again (published April 20, 1814).
