French generals retreating
Piled into a clumsy wooden sled, a group of seven French generals attempt to escape from Russia. All around, a bleak winter landscape stretches, revealing no point of origin or safe harbor for the retreating generals. The horses pulling the sled do so under great duress. The horse closest to the viewer kicks its back legs at the driver, while the other brays angrily at his driver attempting to maneuver the horse by pulling on its tail. Despite the slow progress they appear to be making, the petticoats and ribbands worn by the generals stream in the wind. Comically, the figures react with ridiculous facial expressions signaling despair, worry, or shock. They are so intent on their departure, they do not notice the general who has fallen backwards off the sled onto the frozen field. Rather, the figures remaining in the sled shiver in the cold and try to warm themselves by pulling their cloaks and hats up around their ears. Most of the borrowed (or stolen) robes they have used to supplement their uniforms is women's clothing: hats, petticoats and cloaks in particular.

French Generals retiring, on account of their health;-with Lepaux presiding in the Directorial Dispensary
In this beautifully colored and intricate caricature, a quack doctor sits at his desk administering cures to the line of patients who enter with various complaints. Enthroned in a gothic styled chair topped by a bonnet rouge, the quack, Larevellière-Lépeaux, examines a sample jar (typically used to collect urine) that contains an exploding liquid that sends little heads into the jar's atmosphere. The quack is represented with diabolically arched eyebrows, deformed legs and is swathed in tricolored garments. Behind his grand chair, two generals are wracked with the effects his cure. One sits on a commode inscribed "Vive la Grande Nation" and clutches his stomach as well as a paper labeled "Ordres, les Ordres." His companion, Jourdan, is identifiable by the inscription on the rim of the chamber pot into which he vomits. Their grotesque faces clearly express the tumult in their bodies and are accurate representations of each physical response. On the right of the image, patients--more officers--crowd into the room. They too are grotesqued and comically exhibit their illnesses. The first in line suffers from a "Case of Diabetes" and covers his privates with his hat while he clutches them with his free hand. Next, a general with a cane and split boots (indicating gout?) bites his lower lip while he massages his lower back. According to the slip of paper he is afflicted by "l'ennemi inquitetait mes derriers." Standing in the background a figure wearing an eye patch holds a trumpet to his ear, while two other officers wait their turns and are clearly in pain. The quack's office is cluttered with artifacts and panaceas. On the left wall, two mummies are bandaged in tricolored ribbons that are labeled "Buonaparte" and "Kleber." Next, several shelves holding vials and containers of "Projets Avortés" (Aborted Projects) line the walls. These jars contain strange and deformed figures and are labeled "Ireland," "Commune de Pekin," "Departement de Mont Caucasse," "Directoire de L'Abissinie," and "Armee de Grange." A crocodile, which George notes symbolizes both quackery and Egypt, is suspended from the ceiling over the quack's desk. The desk is likewise littered with jars and vials of medicines. In addition, papers are scattered on the floor, along with an enema bag and a clyster pipe (far left).

This caricature is not signed by Gillray but is securely attributed to his hand. This caricature deals with the British victory in Egypt which crippled the French army. It also hints at the various diseases that were associated with 'exotic' eastern regions. Caption: Pubd June 20th 1799, by H Humphrey St James's Street
French Generals receiving an English charge
Napoleon sits on a throne located in the center of the image. Talleyrand sits at his right. To their left, a group of officers is clustered around a table. In the right background, French guards stand at attention. All of the figures in this image are engaged in looking at British satires of the Napoleonic conflict. They are shown laughing--an expression that exaggerates their already grotesqued features--and are sharing the "charge" of the satires. The prints they look at are turned so that the viewer can see them as well. Many of the prints are even identifiable by their titles, or by the subject matter. Yet, it is unclear whether the French comprehend that they are the true targets of the satires that amuse them. We, the viewers of this print, are made to understand that our position is superior in that we recognize the satires within the satire, and we simultaneously recognize that the French soldiers are equally victims of satire.
