Image description

'Better late than never'. The print depicts a French Grenadier guard standing over a vomiting King George III and Tsar Alexander of Russia. Coins fall out of their thrones as colonies fall from their mouths. This French print satirises the military successes of the French army during the French Revolutionary wars, which forced both Britain and Russia to relinquish wealth, power and some of their colonies. Published by Aaron Martinet.
