Broad Bottoms in Holland Worshipping Their New King or Nic Frogs Adualtion of Louis Baboon On the left, Louis Bonaparte, depicted as a monkey, sits on a throne holding an orb and a 'ROD OF IRON'. He is faced by a row of bowing Dutchmen. All are large, and smoking pipes. Each has an inscription on his behind, these are, from left to right: 'BATAVIA STARVED', 'CAPE LOST', 'SURINAM LOST', 'CEYLON LOST', 'TRINIDAD LOST', 'TOBAGO LOST'. One of the men addresses Louis: "Most Illustrious Sovereign - we humbly bend before your sublime throne - and offer up our humble incense to your exalted nostrils, like your Imperial Brother who is the guardian angel of the universe you are a monkey of ten thousand, and sent by some supernatural agent to free us from our vile ancient republican ideas - Schimmelpenninck - compared with your august highness was but a small fly on the broad bottom of an Elephant! - Accept our grateful loyalty and may you long reign over our free and independent country." Louis replies: "May it please your Most Honorable Broad Bottoms to accept my most sincere acknowledgement - for your unprecedented Loyalty, believe me, I will ever be a friend to my croaking subjects - but from the advice of my illustrious Brother, though I may occasionally become a frog, I shall never forget that I am a French Monkey." On the left are four frogs, also smoking pipes. 23 Jul 1806
