Image description

King George III, examines a tiny Napoleon in the palm of his hand. He dismisses him as 'one of the most pernicious, little - odious - reptiles, that nature ever suffer'd to crawl upon the surface of the Earth'. Gillray belittles Napoleon and the threat of French invasion using characters from Gulliver's Travels.
