Description
A burlesque of Napoleon raving against England at a famous levée on 13 March 1803, when he reproached John Whitworth, then British Ambassador to Paris. The thoughts swirling from Napoleon’s head and the documents strewn around the room show Gillray’s detailed grasp of the political situation between France and England and of Britain’s internal politics at the time.
