Napoleon March 1814 Thomas Rowlandson Heading to a printed broadside. A description of the image of Napoleon is inscribed at the bottom: "This Hieroglyphic Portrait of the DESTROYER is faithfully copied from a German Print, with the parody of his assumed titles. The "Hat. ." represents a discomfited French Eagle, maimed and crouching, after his Conflict with the Eagles of the North. His "Visage" is composed of the Carcases of the Victims of his Folly and Ambition, who perished on the Plains of Russia and Saxony. His Throat is encircled with the "Red Sea", in Allusion to his drowned Hosts. His Epaulette is a "Hand", leading the Rhenish Confederation, under the flimsy Symbol of a "Cobweb". The "Spider" is an Emblem of the Vigilance of the Allies, who have inflicted on That Hand a deadly Sting!". Napoleon. Thomas Rowlandson (British, London 1757-1827 London). March 1814. Hand-colored etching, letterpress. Rudolph Ackermann, London (active 1794-1829). Prints
