Title	Buonaparte and his Old Friend on their Travels

Description	Napoleon holds a telescope and looks towards the distant setting sun, which is marked 'EAST INDIES'. It is being pointed out by a large black devil, standing slightly behind Napoleon. The devil says: ""There my fine little fellow - what do you think of that prospect - I always told you there was nothing got by staying at home, - that is the way to dish John Bull." Napoleon replies: "It is certainly a very inviting prospect." On the far right are the jaws of hell, with devils hiding inside. One says: "I always said with the help of our Old Master that we should have him at last." Available on CD 163.
