Volume 2 (of 2)" by John Ashton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work is a thorough exploration of British caricatures and satirical illustrations that comment on Napoleon Bonaparte's actions and political maneuvers during his rise to power and his subsequent reign. The book focuses particularly on the British response to Napoleon, utilizing humor and wit to critique his ambition and the sociopolitical climate of the time. The opening of the volume introduces various caricatures from the period, depicting Napoleon in a variety of humorous and critical situations, often highlighting public fears and perceptions regarding his military ambitions and invasions. Various prints illustrate how he was perceived as both a formidable enemy and a ridiculous figure, featuring commentary on his attempts to invade England, his self-proclamation as Emperor, and significant political events such as conspiracies against him and the execution of the Duc d’Enghien. The satire employs vivid allegories and exaggerated characters, reflecting the creative ways the British used caricature to respond to and accommodate the turbulent political landscape of the early 19th century.
