John Bull peppering Buonaparte in the Front and Rear.

Very Rare. Bodley appear to have a reversed copy of this print but we have been unable to locate any other examples. A similar design though does feature on a number of pieces of pottery from this period (see British Museum catalogue for a Staffordshire-ware mug). This is the impression offered in the Latta sale (1913).

A stark print showing a muscular John Bull beating up Napoleon while in the background an effigy of Napoleon is hung from a gallows.
