The French Consular-triumverate, settl'ing the new constitution : with a peep at the constitutional-pigeon-holes of the Abbe Seiyes - in the back ground / Js. Gillray fect.

Print shows Bonaparte seated at a small table writing with fierce decision; the Cambacérès and Lebrun sit facing him, biting their pens in pompous indecision, their papers are blank. Behind them Sieyès opens a curtain which stretches across the design, revealing papers in pigeon-holes inscribed: 'Constitution de Parade', 'Constitution du Sang', 'Constitution de Foutre', 'Constitution de Despotism', 'Constitution de Vol[eur?]'. Above them is a model of a guillotine. Above the curtain is a festoon of tricolour, inscribed 'Vive le Constitution Une et Invisible', centred by crossed blunderbusses. The tablecloth is looped up to show a group of tiny fire-lit demons forging fetters.
