Buonaparte Establishing the French Quarters in Italy. Published by the artist, 9 November 1797. Hand-coloured etching. Richard Newton’s caricature portrays the humiliation of the Pope by Napoleon, shown as a moustachioed bandit. The French had already announced the creation of an army to invade England and the suggestion is that prime minister William Pitt will be the next to succumb. Opposition politicians are cheering.
