Engraved verses in 8 stanzas attributed to Paul Sandby below image; first line: Buonaparte they say, aye good lack a day! ...
Print shows the Devil wearing a bonnet rouge and roasting Napoleon on a pitchfork in the flames of Hell while excrement drips into a dish below. The back of the Devil's ornate chair is a guillotine; beneath it is a pile of skulls over which is a tricolour ribbon inscribed 'Robespiere Marat'. A butcher block table sits behind and on it are a carving-knife, the blade inscribed 'Taleyrand', and fork; a chalice inscribed 'Atheism' and 'Cup of French Faith'; a salt-cellar, the salt spilled, inscribed 'Sal Infernal'. Beside it stands an ornate wine-cooler inscribed 'Favourite French Wines of the Consular Vintage'; bottles are labelled 'Sang des Suisse[s]', 'Sang des Anglais', 'Sang des Holland[ais]'. Near it lies a ballad: 'Invasion of Great Britain a Catch to be performed after Supper with a full Chorus of his Highness's Band'. Two demon attendants on the extreme right enter with a steaming tureen of 'Crocodile Soup' and a sauce-boat of 'Mahomedan Gravy.' A little wingless female demon sits on a sack of 'Fuel for Everlasting Flames', plying bellows. Papers pour from the sack and others are already burning: 'Poisoning 580 wounded French soldiers', 'Massacre of 3800 Turks at Jaffa', 'Murdering 1500 Women at Toulon', 'Assassination of captive Swiss', 'Destruction of St Domingo', 'Fire', 'Swo[rd]', 'extermination', 'Murder', 'Treachery', 'Blasphemy', 'Blood', 'Breach of Faith', 'Cruelty', 'Envy', 'Perjury', 'Ingratitude', 'Devestation', 'Avarice'. There are three other demon cooks, winged, wearing bonnets rouges and aprons: each holds his nose. One flying above Bonaparte bastes him with a ladle-full of Brimstone. The others hold ready for the fire a pan of vipers and three skewered frogs. Across a vault up which the flames ascend is a beam inscribed 'L'Armée D'Angletarre' [sic] from which are suspended by the neck simian creatures wearing French military coats.
