new consular waltz The Cruikshank, Isaac 1764-1811 caricaturist Williamson, T. publisher London 1803 1 print; 25.7 x 35 cm Using a blanket or a large piece of canvas, a group of stout and rosy English women toss Napoleon high into the air. Harrassed in this manner, Napoleon wishes, "Oh! That I were safe in Egypt!" Here, Napoleon is not represented with the thin frame and a hawk-nosed profile used in many caricatures. Instead, he appears well fed and full of health. In the background, a Dutchman and a Spanish Don enjoy the scene as they sit smoking pipes and drinking. The writing on this sheet is shaky and uneven and appears to have been done by a different hand other than the one that engraved the image. Published by Williamson, 1803-05-29. British Museum, BM 10001. Pub Mayn 29th 1803 by T. Williamson No 20 Strand London Women: "Up with him to the shies, Give him plenty of it; He delights in high stations!" "We'll toss your soul out of you!" "Pauvre Diable!!! Is that the hero who is to conquer England!!" "Well Bunny have you built any more castles since you've been up in the air! Or will you some more conscripts to help you." "Well are you come to your senses yet;? can you behave peaceably?" Napoleon: "Oh! That I were safe in Egypt!"
