Creator(s): Holland, William, fl. 1782-1817, publisher
Date Created/Published: London : Pubd by W. Holland, Cockspur Street, Pall Mall removed from Oxford Street, 1803 May 22.
Summary: Print shows Josephine standing in a carriage on the left which is drawn by four 'unruly' horses, two are labeled 'A Jacobin' and 'A Royalist'; Napoleon, having been tossed onto the back of a bull, probably representing John Bull or Great Britain, lies on his back with his head between the upright horns of the bull, suggesting cuckoldry, probably alluding to rumors of infidelity involving Josephine. A whip lies on the ground next to the horses, Napoleon's oversized hat lies on the ground next to the bull. Napoleon says, alluding to his double humiliation, by the British in Egypt and his wife at home in France, 'Between the Bull, and the Horns I make a pretty figure!!'
