Three plagues of Europe

In this sheet the "Three Plagues of Europe" are lined up in a row. At the left, Napoleon, "The Turbulent Mr. Fight-all," has drawn his sword and lunges at an enemy outside of the frame. William Pitt, "The Hon'ble Mr. Tax-all," takes the center. Pitt stands with his hand on his hip and appears to be chastizing Napoleon. The Devil, "The Worshipfull Mr. Take-all," at the right of the image, is poised to attack Pitt. His eyes glint red as he extends his right arm towards the British Prime Minister. This sheet is mounted to another paper. Alone, the satire measures 33.5x25.5 cm. There is some staining and scratching, but overall the print is in good condition.
