A Scene at Boulogna or Needs must when the Devil drives.
[Satirist 1 Nov 1811].
Etching and aquatint in sepia. Sheet 200 x 365mm (8 x 14¼"), paper watermarked 'Edmonds & Pi[ne] 1807.' Folds as issued. Trimmed on all but right side.
Plate from The Satirist, ix, p. 341. A shoreline scene shows Napoleon (1769-1821), sword drawn, forcing a marine forward by his long pigtail, commanding, ''Rascal—F—e, go fight dem dam English.'' The marine replies, ''Sire, me like fight men; dem English be Diables,'' and wears a shako, military tunic, trousers, and slippers. In the foreground, grenadiers with fixed bayonets drive a trembling naval officer and several sailors toward a ship’s boat, into which one sailor is already falling. The officer, reluctant and frightened, wears a feathered bicorne, carries a telescope, and declares, ''Allons à la Gloire!'' The sailors are rough figures in bonnets rouges, shirts, and trousers; three serve as boatmen, while two exclaim, ''Oh! by Gar! dey vill eat us all up,'' and ''Ah mon dieu.'' On the horizon, two British ships are firing, with a third standing by.
