Patience on a monument smiling at grief!

In yet another image depicting a confrontation across the water of the Channel, Napoleon (r.) and John Bull (l.) sit on opposite cliffs and watch a naval battle taking place in the Channel. Napoleon wipes the tears from his eyes with a large white handkerchief and laments the loss of his gun boats to the British navy. Grinning broadly in self-satisfaction, John Bull is perched at the top of a pillar inscribed "The British Constitution." Typically robust, he clenches the stem of his pipe in his teeth and enjoys his smoke. At the base of the column the Britsh lion vigilantly stands guard and roars a warning at Napoleon.
