Summary

[edit]
Description A redrawn version of a Russian caricature (on Napoleon's 1812 campaign in Russia) by British artist George Cruikshank. A Russian peasant holds a bloody axe above Frenchman's head, ready to strike. On the ground are the bodies of two French officers, whose skulls have been split by the Russian soldier's axe. British caricature. Dorothy George translates the caption as: "There were hordes of you, weren't there? Well, that's the lot! That's what you were up to, trying to hack your way through; in future you won't give any trouble!"
