  <dc:title>Bonaparte and Leland the Astronomer</dc:title>
  <dc:description>On the left the French astronomer Joseph-Jérôme Lefrançais de Lalande (1732 - 1807) looks through a telescope and announces:
"Bégar me have discovered une grande island in de moon."
Napoleon, standing to the right replies:
"But Leland I am before hand with you - I knew what would happen, and have just sent up a King to take possession of it!!!"
On the far right is the moon, and flying towards it is a king with a crown and sceptre in a balloon. </dc:description>
