- Sl. foxed.

= Napoleon I. im Spiegel der Karikatur 340; Broadley II, p.242-246: "... Voltz's "corpse-head", the most widely known of all the caricatures directed against Napoleon" (p.243). We see Napoleon with a face composed of bodies in agony, wearing a blood-red collar, a coat with a map showing the places of his lost battles, and a hat in the shape of the Prussian eagle that has finally defeated him. Originally it was published as a New Year's wish to the Germans, bearing the title "True Picture of the Conqueror. Triumph of the Year 1813. To the Germans for the New Year." Cf. Grand-Carteret, Napoléon en Images, p.45.

AND 2 portraits of Louis Napoleon, both framed, i.a. ''Louis Napoléon, Roi de Hollande'' (circular stippelengr., 7x7 cm.).
