The political cocks

Standing on opposite banks of the English Channel, Napoleon Bonaparte (left) and William Pitt (right) challenge each other to a fight. Shown in profile, both have the bodies of roosters and their heads are marked by the distinct features of each man. Napoleon, the smaller of the two, has an elaborate feathered ruff around his neck, which hides his diminutive body. Pitt stands on the British crown and has elaborate plumage. In the right distance the British Royal Navy waits, daring the French to attack.

Dialogue: Napoleon: "Eh Master Billy, if I could take but a flight over this Brook, I would soon stop your Crowing, I would knock you off that Perch, I swear by Mahomet, the Pope, and all the Idols I have ever Worshiped." Dialogue: Pitt: "Tuck a roo - too that you never can do!!!" Inscription: Pubd March 27th 1803 by S. W. Fores 50 Piccadilly Inscription: Folios of Caracatures lent out for the Evening.
