  <mods:abstract>Napoleon, cast as an emaciated hound, retreats, running across a frozen plain, his tail tucked between his legs. In this caricature, Napoleon's bust is drawn in profile and is attached rather incongruously to his dog's body. Wearing his trademark hat, his face is marked with an expression of worry and of fear. A tin pot scattering ominous messages is tied to his tail and drags behind. At the left of the sheet, fierce bears pursue him over the drifted snow. In the far distance, the city of Moscow is engulfed in flames. Corpses buried under the snow are further indicators of the bloodiness and havoc of the Russian campaign, and are indicated by faint outlines. Napoleon's defeat by "General Winter" and his cowardly evacuation is the subject of this satire. The Russians are here represented as large bears well inured against the winter weather.
