<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_I" class="extiw" title="w:Napoleon I">Napoleon</a> (left) tied to a post, his hands clasped, watches with famished eagerness <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bull" class="extiw" title="w:John Bull">Mr and Mrs Bull</a> at their Christmas dinner. He is without hat and sword and his hair is tousled. John (right) sits facing him, in front of a large joint of beef stuck with sprigs of holly as in BMSat 9913. He is a fat 'cit' with carbuncled nose, his napkin round his neck, holding knife and fork, with food speared on his knife. He says: "Yes – Yes – the Beef is very good – so is the pudding too – but the deuce a morsel do you get of either Master Boney". Mrs Bull, on John's right, holds a large frothing tankard, decorated with the Royal Arms; she grins sideways at Napoleon, saying, "Your health Master Boney wishing you a merry Christmas". The round table covered with a cloth is more than half covered by beef and a cannon-ball <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/plum_pudding" class="extiw" title="w:plum pudding">pudding</a>. December 1803
