or Little Boney in a Rage<br><p>This drawing refers to the British takeover of the Danish fleet in 1807.  The British guessed that Napoleon would try to capture the fleet, and asked Denmark to let them take the ships into protective custody.  Denmark refused, the British attacked, and Denmark quickly capitulated.  The British then took the ships back to England to keep them out of Napoleon's reach.  The drawing suggests his impotent fury at this development.<br><br></p>
