Uncolored engraving. Joseph Bonaparte delicately balances on the edge of a rail running down the peaked top of a double-sided desk. Standing en pointe, he extends his left leg towards a map of Spain and Portugal hung high on the background wall; the toe of his foot lands precisely on Madrid, located in the center of the map. As an extra burden to his precarious position, the crown of Spain along with other trappings of power, descends into his upraised arms. Reaching upwards, Joseph drops a quill, the tool of a Notary Clerk. The four clerks working at the desk crane their necks upwards and comment on Joseph's attempts to rise above his station. Such disregard for social station can only lead to disaster. Uncolored engraving. Joseph Bonaparte delicately balances on the edge of a rail running down the peaked top of a double-sided desk.
