Brittania blowing up the Corsican bottle conjurer

In this unusually oblong-shaped print, a large bottle rests on an outcropping of land. Britannia, the national symbol of England, calmly sits inside this bottle which is inscribed "British Spirits composed of True Liberty, Courage, Loyalty & Religion." A spark ignites from the end of Britannia's spear, blowing Napoleon through the bottle's neck and high into the air like a champagne cork.
