European royals and martial heroes marvel at the sight of the defeated Napoleon Bonaparte standing in a glass bottle in their midst. Coloured etching.
Lettering: The ex-emperor in a bottle. Ambition's dread career is o'er, And weeping Europe hopes for peace once more; Sov'reigns in arms, at length the world have free'd, and Britain's warlike sons no more shall bleed: The great Napoleon now resigns his sway, and in a bottle seal'd is borne away
