Plump to the Devil we boldly kick'd both Nap and his partner Joe
Standing on a sandy beach, a fat Dutchman (l.) boots Napoleon into the waiting arms of the Devil (r.). The Dutchman is identifiable by his buttoned-up out it, his ribboned hat, and the flask and pipe he holds in his hands. he Devil has already grasped Napoleon's left leg and is about to catch his body with his other arm. A wall of flames behind the devil consumes the left side of the image. On the right, several ships wait patiently in the water behind the Dutchman. Napoleon has lost his hat, and his sword flies uselessly from his belt. In the background another Dutchman (r.) uses a pitchfork to prod Joseph Bonaparte (l.) into the flames of Hell that rage along the left side of the image. Like Napoleon, Joseph Bonaparte has lost his crown, and will soon suffer the same ignominious fate.
