- Abstract
- Hand-colored etching after Williams. 'Napoleon, on a magnificent white horse, is led (r. to left.) through the City by Light Horse Volunteers. He sits facing the tail, his hands tied. Two dismounted volunteers lead the horse; one holds a British flag flying above the French tricolour; on it is poised Napoleon's huge bicorne. The other holds against his shoulder the prisoner's long sabre; hat and sabre are both labelled 'For St Pauls'. They are followed by volunteers mounted with drawn sabres, or marching with fixed bayonets. They have passed the pilastered front of the Bank and are opposite a block of houses inscribed 'Bank Buildings', the windows filled with spectators. Other spectators stand cheering in the street. A stout John Bull (r.) says: "I say Boney, you have got past the Bank I thought you was to call on the Old Lady in Thread-needle Street." Others (l.) say: "We may thank our Volunteers for this glorious sight"; "What will candle ends and cheese parings say to this"; "Oh you mean the Bull Hanker why he will move a vote of sinecure for their Loyalty." -- British Museum
