Boney bothered or an unexpected meeting

Comfortably seated in the East Indies, John Bull surprises Napoleon who emerges from the globe, one foot on Bengal. Napoleon drops a sheet titled "Plan of Operations in the East Indies," which betrays his interest in conquest. Not to be outdone, Bull carries a sheaf of papers titled "Secret Intelligence" in his back pocket. Because of his excellent intelligence operations, Bull has managed to stay one step ahead of Napoleon.

This image directly addresses the far-reaching consequences of the Napoleonic Wars. Not only was the map of Europe at stake, but also the state of colonial conquests across the globe depended on the outcome of the battles. George notes that in 1807 Napoleon had formed 'a triple plan for combined land expeditions through Central Asia and Egypt, and a sea expedition round the Cape.'
