The genius of France extirpating despotism tyranny & oppression from the face of the earth or the royal worriors defeated (BM 1868,0808.6252), The Genius of France is a comely young woman wearing a Phrygian cap who stands on the extreme right, stopping the advance of an ass on which princes of Europe are seated; she threatens them with a scourge of many lashes, saying, "I am Determin'd to Inflict Death on all Despots & Oppressors." The lashes are inscribed: 'Religious Bigots', 'Aristocrats who screen'd by their unjust Privileges rob Tradesmen of their Property', 'Monopolizer of Provisions to Distress the Poor', 'Perverters of Public Justice', 'Oppressers of the People', 'The Increase of Tyranny', 'The Stretch of Prerogative', 'The Abuse of Power', 'Despotism'.
The ass is being pushed down on its haunches; under its feet lies Louis XVI, into whose mouth it is excreting; he is inscribed 'France'. On the animal's back are figures representing 'Prussia', 'Germany', 'Russia', 'Sweeden', and 'Brunswick'. The foremost is Frederick William II with a raised club, behind him sits Francis II, with half his crown broken off. On his shoulders, and dominating the group, sits the termagant Catherine, raising her sceptre to smite France, and almost throttling the Emperor, who says, "Let go you Bitch I d'ont like the Looks of her let's be Off." Behind the Empress is the King of Sweden (actually a boy of fourteen), who clutches her legs, saying, "This Business Stinks Cursedly". Behind him the Duke of Brunswick falls backwards to the ground, saying, "Ive lost my Place". In the middle distance (left) another ass plunges violently, heels in air: the Sultan of 'Turkey', waving a sabre, keeps his seat, but says, "I shall never get back to the Seraglio again." The Emperor of China falls headlong; 'Spain' clings to Turkey. Three unidentified sovereigns are falling from the ass, their crowns flying from their heads. In the foreground (left) a woman, inscribed 'Portugal', sits on the ground, holding her crown, and tearing her dishevelled hair. (Maria I of Portugal was insane.)  21 December 1792.

フランスの天才は、独裁政治と圧政を、地上の面から駆り立てるか、敗北した王家の悪意を、または抑圧する。まつげには「宗教偏見」「不当な特権によってスクリーニングされる貴族が財産の商人を略奪する」「貧窮民を苦しめることの禁止」「正義の擁護者」「民衆の抑圧者」「暴君」「大権の脅威」「権力の濫用」「専制主義」などと彫り込まれている。ロバは鼻から下が突き下がっている。足の下にはルイ16世がおり、口から排している。背には「プロイセン」、「ドイツ」、「ロシア」、「スウェーデン」、「ブルンスウィック」を表す人物が描かれている。最有力者は、フランシス2世の後ろにクラブを建てたフレデリック・ウィリアム2世で、王冠の半分は壊れている。肩に座り、グループを統率する彼は、フランスをするエカチェリーナ2世をし、皇帝をりそうになり、「私はあなたにビッチをやろう」と言います。皇后の背後にはスウェーデン王(実際には14歳)がおり、彼女は「このビジネスは呪いをかける」と言って両足を掴んでいる。ブラウンシュヴァイク公は「私は自分の場所を失った」と言って、後ろ向きに倒れる。中距離では、別のイカが激しく飛び跳ねて、宙を舞う:「トルコ」のスルタンは、サーベルを振り、座席を守っているが、「私は二度とセラグリオに戻ることはないだろう」と言います。中国の皇帝は頭が下がり、「スペイン」はトルコにくっつく。から3人の正体不明の君主が転落し、王冠が頭から飛び出している。前景には、十字架の銘文「Portugal」が刻まれた女性が地面に座り、冠を掴み、不名誉な髪を裂く。。手彩色エッチング
