A Friendly Visit
Not on view
A satire on Napoleon's defeat, abdication and retirement to Elba. A devil approaches Napoleon at right, holding a trident and a noose, saying, "Master Boney the favour of your company is requested." Napoleon hurriedly rises from his "Camp stool" at left, pulls on his breeches, and replies, "I'll be with you in a crack." A skeleton stands behind him and holds back Joseph Bonaparte, who tries to escape through a door at left, and warns him, "Stop thief."
