- Abstract
- British Museum Catalogue: 'Bonaparte (left) a grotesque figure with a large head, bestrides the neck of a scaly monster which breathes out soldiers (horse and foot), guns, and demons in a cloud of smoke. The Archduke Charles and the Duke of York (scarcely caricatured) run terrified from the advancing cloud ,which almost reaches the former's heel. In the background panic-stricken Austrian troops are in flight.On the extreme left, the Pope lies prostrate under the monster's body, his key and crozier beside him...From the upper right corner of the design the head of Fox, winged, but with sprouting horns, looks down smiling at the two princes...'

- Published by S W Fores No 50 Piccadilly April 13 1797 Folios of Caracatures [sic] Lent British Museum Catalogue: 'These commanders, the Duke of York and Mack excepted, were defeated by Bonaparte (and Kellerman) in the Italian campaign of 1796-97. The Archduke Charles was in command of the Austrian army, having been withdrawn from the victorious army of the Rhine (where he was succeeded by Mack) to succeed Alvintzy, defeated at Rivoli (14 January 1797). Würmser surrendered Mantua to the French (2 February). Davidovitch, who had been bringing reinforcements to the Austrians before Arcola (15-17 November 1796), was forced to retreat into Tyrol. The imperialists were driven from Italy in March, the Archduke retreating towards Vienna, followed by Bonaparte; on 7-8 April he agreed to an armistice. Preliminaries of peace were signed at Leoben on 18 April.'
