Advertisement: "Copy/ of the/ Transparency/ exhibited at/ Ackermann's Repository of Arts/ During the Illuminations of the 5th and 6th of November, 1813,/ In Honor of the Splendid Victories Obtained by/ the Allies over the Armies of France/ at Leipsic and its Environs." "The Two Kings of Terror/ The Subject, representing the two Tyrants, viz. the Tyrant Bonaparte and the/ Tyrant Death, sitting together on the Field of Battle, in a manner which promises a more/ perfect intimacy immediately to ensue, is very entertaining. It is also very instructing to/ observe, that the former is now placed in a situation in which all Europe may see through/ him. The emblem, too, of the Circle of dazzling light from mere vapour, which is so soon/ extinguished, has a good moral effect; and as the Gas representing the dying flame, so does the/ Drum, on which he is seated, typify the hollow and noisy nature of the falling Usurper." "The above description of the subject appeared in the Sun of Saturday, the 6th of/ November. These pointed comments arose from the picture being transparent, and from a/ Circle , indicative of the strength and brotherly union of the Allies, which surmounted the/ same, composed of gas of brilliant brightness."

In this brightly colored satire, the Devil stands between Napoleon and the Pope, urging Napoleon to join the alliance and kiss the Pope's bared foot. The Devil places one hand on Napoleon's back, and in his other hand he grasps the Pope's leg. Napoleon kneels on a cross and reaches eagerly for the Pope's outstreached foot. The Pope, fallen over backwards in a submissive posture, has abandoned his mitre, staff and rosary beads. In the distance a three-headed dog bears the busts of the Pope, the Devil and Napoleon. This print is in excellent condition, but has been trimmed close to the borders of the image.
