Title

Français : Reveil de pitt 1805

Description

English: William Pitt (prime minister of England during the years of Napoleon's most successful military campaigns) is shown waking up to the fact that England was in danger from France. He is sitting up in bed, staring horrified at the picture of Napoleon pointing to the list of his army's victories. Napoleon is standing on a shield bearing the Hapsburg (Prussian) eagle, and a standard beside the table shows the same emblems. Napoleon holds up an olive branch to England while pointing with his sword to the list of victories, the implication clear that he will take England by force if Pitt doesn't cooperate. Pitt says (line A of the legend): "Is it possible? I believed it again at Boulogne". The figure marked B, hiding behind the bed, says "We'd better watch out/protect ourselves, John Bull knows everything". Figure C laments that with the fall of Austria, bavarian cream desserts are a thing of the past. And John Bull rushes in, accompanied by a dog, saying "Goddamn, here is some rotten news."
