Description |
English: or State epicures taking un petit souper William Pitt and Napoleon, both in uniform, face each other at a dinner table, with the globe steaming like a plum pudding in the center of the table. Pitt is shown slicing off the oceans for Britain, while Napoleon takes a large chunk of Europe. The quote references a passage in The Tempest (Act IV, Scene I). It is attributed to William Windham and the Political Register, which is merely part of Gillray's satire. Windham was critical of Pitt's handling of the war with France, but he did not publish this quote in the Register.
