* Williams (Charles). Caterers- Boney Dish'd- a bonne bouche for Europe, P. Knight, Nov. 10th 1813, etched caricature with contemporary hand colouring, 245 x 350 mm, mounted, framed and glazed, together with The Battle of Pul-Tusk designed by an Amateur, circa 1806, an etched caricature with contemporary hand-colouring satirising the Franco-Prussian war, sparse pencil marginalia, appears to be a proof before title and letters, slight staining and marginal fraying, 320 x 385 mm, mounted, framed and glazedQty: (2)NOTESThe second described item is uncommon and illustrates one of the battles in Napoleon’s Polish campaign of 1806 and 1807, in which he attempted to cut the ties between Poland and Russia. The battle at Pultusk is presented in a zoomorphic style with the Russians represented as bears and the French as apes. Leading the Russians is Bennigsen, who is encased from waist to ankles in a cask inscribed Spirited Benn in Gin. Another Russian officer shovels French apes into an oven, baking “A Batch of Real French Bread.” At the top, flies a Russian guardian angel with a shield inscribed with the legend K+Amen+Sky Guardian Angel. This is a representation of the Russian Field Marshal Michel Fédorovitch Kamenskoi. A simian Napoleon sits in a tree saying, “I am determined to beat these brutes in spite of their teeth” as his soldiers use pincers to pull the advancing bears’ teeth (pull tusk). John Bull is seen as a belligerent bull on a hill in the distance.
