A pair of specticles easely seen through

A lively skeleton (l.), wearing a noose around his wrist, dances mockingly in front of Napoleon (r.), who frowns and orders the vision to go away. The skeleton points to his eye sockets indicating that soon Napoleon will have a new set of 'spectacles' to see from. Behind Napoleon, at the right of the sheet, a group of British soldiers patiently wait under a scaffold.

This image, published after Napoleon's exile to Elba, falls into the tradition of the many other prints that imagine Napoleon's death on a scaffold. See, for example, Broadley 54 and Broadley 340..
