The print is part of a group of engravings (invv. 2714-2767) of the same origin received by the Museum on a permanent basis. The anti-bonapartist table, which recalls the date of the Battle of Waterloo, shows the emperor on horseback together with the personification of Death, to whom he is willing to sacrifice other victims, but the skeleton with scythe and violin assures him "You will come too".
