A hand-coloured print depicting Napoleon Bonaparte faced by resistance in all directions. Behind him, a Spanish whirlwind knocks King José off his throne, while he is challenged by Russia (a bear), Austria (an eagle) and the Dutch (shown as marsh-dwelling frogs). The print reflects the spirit of optimism as Wellington and the British army began to gain ground in Spain and northern European countries rose up against Napoleon.
