General Nap turned Methodist Preacher, A New Attempt to Gull the Credulous; Dedicated to Mr. Whitbread. ''Dear Sam, repeat my Words, but not my Actions''.
[George Cruikshank.]
[n.d., 1815.]
Broadside, with coloured etching and letterpress. Sheet 455 x 275mm (18 x 10¾"). Tear taped.
A satire on Napoleon Bonaparte's promises to the French after his escape from Elba. He preaches from a high pulpit in a Gothic church, wearing a gown over a military coat and an ill-fitting wig. Marshal Ney fills the Clerk's desk underneath. Hanging from the pulpit are three of Napoleon's former costumes: the uniform of a republican soldier with an imperial cross underneath it; a mitre and bishop's robe supported on a musket and inscribed 'Scarecrow'; and a Mahometan turban and robe, with a bottle inscribed 'Arsenic for the Poor Sick of Jaffa'.
