In 1812 he was commissioned to paint 36 portraits of Napoleon in his Coronation Robes for the Imperial Courts and had completed 26 by 1814, but the following year Napoleons abdicated for the final time and Girodet came into a considerable inheritance. Thereafter his output decreased.

[Sir Francis Burdett] Genial Rays, or John Bull enjoying the sunshine.
[Charles Williams.]
Tegg's Caricatures 111 Cheapside. Pub.d June 1810 by Tho.s Tegg 111 Cheapside.
Hand-coloured etching. 250 x 340mm (9¾ x 13½"). Trimmed within plate.
John Bull, a fat 'cit', his hat and bludgeon beside him, reclines on his back against a grassy bank covered with roses. He looks up ecstatically to the sky where the profile head of Burdett is enclosed in a circle or sun inscribed 'Clarior e Tenebris'; this is irradiated, the rays illuminating a distant view of London and John himself. These passions set—and the great Patriot shines" The rays are inscribed: 'Magna Charta', 'King and Constitution', 'Loyalty', 'Reform', 'Good of the People', 'Integrity', 'Laws of the Land', 'Trial by Jury', 'Lords', 'Habea[s Corpus]', 'Liberty', 'Candour', 'Justice', 'Truth', 'Freedom of the Pr[ess]', 'Bill of Rights', 'Commons', 'Free Representation'. A circle of clouds is still not entirely dispersed by the rays: on the right they are over the Tower of London and on the left they surround three evil stars: 'Corrupti[on]', 'Imbe[cillity]', 'Democ[racy]'.

[Edmund Burke][Magic Lantern] Galante show "redeunt spectacula mane" Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
JS fec.
Publ.d 6.th May 1788 by T. Cornell Bruton Street
Etching with aquatint, sheet 165 x 150mm (6½ x 6"). Trimmed within plate.
One of several satires by Sayers targeting Burke’s rhetorical exageration. Burke (1729-97), depicted as a showman, operates a magic lantern projecting exaggerated images symbolizing the Benares and Begums charges (trial of Warren Hastings): a chained elephant labeled "A Benares Flea," stacked mountains called "A Begum Wart," floating weeping eyes as "Begums Tears," and a spouting whale dubbed "An Ouzle." Spectators applaud the spectacle, with one mistaking the whale for a weasel, echoing Polonius from Hamlet. India interest.
