About this work

Napoleon, with an Arab holding a scimitar and a man with a thrusting sword and saber beside him, orders the capture of Berlin. Behind him an army marches past, before him a woman with children on a donkey, a dog, and some bizarre figures labeled in the captions "grand voyeur", "tondeur", "receveur", "tambour major" and "grand sappeur de l'empire".
