Master Boney presenting his little gunboats to the National Institute On the left Napoleon, wearing white breeches and a blue coat decorated with red and gold, bows holds out two small gunboats, one of which has a French flag and is inscribed 'Launchd at Paris. 1803'. He says to the three assembled men: "There gentlemen - look at these - England must now fall." A man in a green suit and powdered tie-wig examines one of the boats with an eyeglass and replies: "O Wonderful Man - efforts like these must command success - yes- yes - this shall make England tremble!". To the right of him, a man in a powdered tie-wig and pink jacket shrugs his shoulders, splaying out his fingers, and casts his eyes upwards and remarks " Wonderful". On the far right, a man dressed in yellow breeches and waistcoat and a blue coat adds: "Astonishing". Sep 1803
