The genius of France nursing her darling / T.B.:-d-lle delt., British Cartoon Print
Summary
Cartoon showing France, a savage virago, dandling a tiny Napoleon seated on her hand and wearing a royal robe over his military dress. Above her head she holds a rattle with bells surmounted by a crown. She grins at the mannikin, singing: ... Beside her are her spear, dripping blood, and shield, with the bleeding head of Louis XVI above a reversed crown, with the inscriptions: Vive la Republique and The last of kings.
